Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Horse feed

Good point Bob,
I might as well add that an hour or so after my six eat their alfalfa
they start rummaging through the sandbox. While doing this I've seen
them consume sticks, twigs, prickly pear cactus, Joshua trees (the
entire tree) grease wood bush, sage, rosemary, foxtails, 4X4 treated
fence posts, plastic electric fence insulators, paper bags, 2X8's, the
Christmas tree after Christmas, other assorted trees, almonds (hull,
shell, nut, and tree), cedar fence planks and posts, horse crap, plastic
water barrels, rubber buckets, lead ropes, halters, leather reins,
winter blankets, zinc coating on galvanized pipe, dirt, and two 4'X8'
sheets of 1/2' ADX plywood (obviously a delicacy to equines) They looked
so proud of themselves as they stood there looking at me with their
heads protruding through what used to be the barn wall.

Some days they prefer the water that has the salad growing in it. Other
days they prefer the cleaner stuff. One year during the Castle Rock ride
in Santa Cruz CA, it got very hot and humid, my horse preferred the mud
puddle water for drinking and the clean, clear, cold water of the river
for swimming in.
