RE: [RC] Horse management in excessive heat - Rae Callaway

My group doesn't even bother with licking when they really want salt - they
just bite chunks off to eat.

Humm, that is an interesting concept. But I wonder why I see mine get those
little cups and groves, and disappear. LOL  They must be getting something
off of it.

And, I'm of the school that if they are not "working' and just hanging out
in the pasture, their bodies tell them what they need. They have the salt
block, and some use it more than the others.  But also, we do not have the
high humidity here, and they have not been sweating just standing around.

Find what works for your horse.
