RE: [RC] Horse management in excessive heat - Rae CallawayMy group doesn't even bother with licking when they really want salt - they just bite chunks off to eat.

But I wonder why I see mine get those little cups and groves, and disappear. LOL They must be getting something off of it. And, I'm of the school that if they are not "working' and just hanging out in the pasture, their bodies tell them what they need. They have the salt block, and some use it more than the others. But also, we do not have the high humidity here, and they have not been sweating just standing around. Find what works for your horse.
