Re: [RC] Toxic amount of acorns? - rides2farAnd some horses can apparently develop an addition to acorns. A little clarification. He's got fresh Coastal Bermuda hay in front of him at all times. I throw more than they'll clean up out morning & evening. I've also started putting it at both ends of the field so if he happens to feel hungry under the oak trees and doesn't want to walk to the usual hay spot, it will be right there. I don't know if the acorns are the problem, but I do know he loves them. When we were pre-riding the trail at Skymont he'd start trotting slower in some places with his nose to the ground, then stop dead and rustle around for acorns. (they had big ones!) It seems to have been a bumper crop this year...good for wild pigs I hear.
