I have spirulina powder
and my mare, who on a good day thinks I am trying to poison her, the day I tried
to give her spirulina she called the SPCA, Denton County Sheriff, and TX State
Police and acted like she wanted to kick me but I was too close to the bucket
she was avoiding.
It does not mix well with
water so it would be difficult to syringe, even if I had any clothes that I
wouldn't mind having dark green sticky goo all over.

Endurance Subject: [RC] Spirulina wafers
I have two itchy horses, one worse than the other. I got the spirulina
wafers that recommend 1 for every 100 lb of body weight. I put one wafer in
each horse's rations, soaked overnight with one cup (dry weight) of beet pulp,
a little oats and sunflower seeds and cut up carrot that I mix their
vitamin/mineral supplement in. One horse ate her rations and left the
undissolved wafer in the pan, the other mare obviously bit into the wafer and
was spitting out everything. First mare came and ate second mare's breakfast.
How do you get them to eat it? Any suggestions?
