RE: [RC] Minerals/Salt...Susan G?? - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVM

They usually have a large amount of molasses and usually some sort of forage
binder, like alfalfa meal or the like.  The term 'horse candy' is very
appropriate, and a horse inhaling usually has little to do with actual
mineral needs or deficiency.

Subject: [RC] Minerals/Salt...Susan G??

My ponies go thru salt on a normal basis...I think.  But they inhale the
minerals.  I don't mean the ones that are 99.9% salt >>either.  These are
the soft mineral blocks, and are all minerals

I don't believe those are all minerals...I think there's something horses
love to EAT that's bonding them into the block form. I bought one of those
blocks once and they ate the whole thing in a few days like it was
candy...but I have also offered free choice mineral supplement and they
weren't interested.  Susan G...what do you say?
