Heidi,
Thank you very much for your input. 
Do you think I should not worry so much about the  Ca:P in my horses? Is it 
not a factor to preventing my gelding from Thumping that his Ca:P is balanced 
or not? I feed free choice grass hays with about 25% alfalfa. What do you 
recommend that I do to be sure my horse's are not deficient in something? 
Our endurance mare that used to eat dirt is an extremely "hard keeper." After 
Tevis, I had my vet do fecal samples and float her teeth. I have a feeling 
that you are right,  she very well could be deficient in something? I 
understand what you are saying, and I don't want to give her something that 
is going to cause other problems or deficiencies. I would like to get to the 
root of the problem. I apologize for so many questions. I am very curious and 
love to learn. I strive to do the best I can towards helping my horses. 
The endurance world is really fortunate to have such knowledgable people like 
yourself ,  Susan G. and many others. I am new to Ride Camp, and feel honored 
to be a part of such a supportive, caring, well educated group of people. It 
is really great! I have learned so much from everybody in such a short period 
of time. Thank you, and I really appreciate any advice you can give me.
