A bunch of my friends were feeding to their horses because it supposedly
helped with endrolyths AND because it was suppose to repel flys! I slowly
built up to the "minimum suggested amount" which was 1/2 cup every other
day in a grain/mash bucket. The first ride with the vinegar in him found
me carrying the saddle (a Wintec - thank god!) breastcolar and girth
15 miles out of the mountains; his skin scalded to the point where he
was unridable for over 5 weeks. Skin turned black everywhere he sweat
(loins, neck etc) and came off in thin sheets.
It's the ONLY time I've heard of this happening, BTW.

Buy it by the gallon at Cosco, or sweet-talk your favorite resteraunt into
ordering you a case wholesale.
