[RC] tricks to entice eating - sherman

Best trick would be to feed her the alfalfa (:>)! IMHO, this cold snap is not a good time to risk your horse’s health. Even Arabs can eat straight alfalfa in very cold weather without problems. Right, Heidi?

p.s. I removed over an inch thick sheet of ice from 3 water troughs this morning, had to do it again this afternoon. We’re having a cold snap here in NorCal as well.

 

 

The only reason why I'm doing it now is because we Southern Californians are going through a really nasty cold snap (record breaking lows) and I can't just let her starve until she gets so hungry she breaks down and begins to eat. If this were a normal So Cal winter or a different season I'd let her go hungry, but I don't need or want her to get sick.
