Now ....that is the million dollar question.

For me, I had to live and learn.  I will say this:

The mares "tend" to be more sensitive to cramping

than my boys have.  I believe that any ole mix

will work on Cash.  He never has had a problem and

if anyone could do without...he could.  So, yes, I do

adjust the what/how much and when to each horse.  But, they all

eat the salt, Rose particularly likes mud in one spot on

the conditioning trail.  Just have to ride them and see

how they do.
