rushcreek minerals

[Louise bower <horsecrazy@access.mountain.net>]

I leave the rushcreek minerals out free choice and as you say for months 
on end they just sit there.  Fortunately I don't get bugs in mine. Then 
out of the blue one horse or the other will stand there and eat 
practically the whole thing.  They both do this, at first I thought it 
was mostly eaten when I was feeding hay and didn't have much grass.  But 
then it also happened in the summer when they were on pasture and not 
getting hay.  So I continue to keep it out and let them so their own 
thing about eating it.
     I have a question about the oral gags and condroitins,  do you need 
both in combination to work best and should there be anything else in 
the mix that might help potentiate the use?
