[RC] elytes,salt,and supplements - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Frances gumbootballet@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I ride a great big Appendix mare who hates salt and hasn't eaten 5 lbs. of free 
choice salt in the last 9 years. Before I knew anything about elytes she did 
just fine with no supplements. Last year, having become a barn-yard chemist 
with a very modest amount of "they all do it" information, I managed to make 
her tie up after a very short ride by giving her 2 ounces of elytes every day 
for 2 weeks. After that nasty experience I've decided to get out of the lab and 
pay attention to what SHE does well with. Better late than never, I guess. Does 
anyone else have horses that won't touch salt if they have a choice? -Frances.
