>By the way, does anybody else feed psyllium?
We feed 1/2 cup of psyllium to every horse for the first week of the
month. I feed TizWhiz pelleted grain and use a small amount (1/4 cup or
less) of bran in the bottom, then the psyllium then the grain and then
the vegetable oil. All our horses get 1/2 cup of oil daily as well. The
bran and psyllium soak up the oil and coat it evenly on the pellets. I
stir it to be sure this happens.

We feed 1/2 cup of vinegar from day 8 to the end of the month to help
prevent stones.
