[RC] Eating too much salt - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Sharon Hahn sharon.hahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or

==========================================

I don't think they can drink too much!  One thing
I'd check (especially if your salt block is a combo
salt/mineral block) if whether your horse might be
deficient in some other mineral.  He could be eating
the salt to try to fix that, and then drinking as a
result of eating all that salt.

If he's just eating salt because he's bored, a toy in 
the paddock might be a good idea.

So is it bad for them to drink too much water and eat too much salt?  And what 
do we consider to be too much?
