RE: [RC] Minerals/Salt...Susan G?? - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVMThey usually have a large amount of molasses and usually some sort of forage binder, like alfalfa meal or the like. The term 'horse candy' is very appropriate, and a horse inhaling usually has little to do with actual mineral needs or deficiency.

My ponies go thru salt on a normal basis...I think. But they inhale the minerals. I don't mean the ones that are 99.9% salt >>either. These are the soft mineral blocks, and are all minerals I don't believe those are all minerals...I think there's something horses love to EAT that's bonding them into the block form. I bought one of those blocks once and they ate the whole thing in a few days like it was candy...but I have also offered free choice mineral supplement and they weren't interested. Susan G...what do you say? Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
