vinegar

Some time ago, I was reading the story about Warpaint and his gut stones
(if that's what they're called) on the Endurance.net web page. I also
remember reading something about these stones being caused by hard water
and that if you add vinegar to the horse's feed, it can help prevent
stone formation.

So I assume, when Linda wrote:

that maybe she has hard water.
If not, why *do* you add apple cider vinegar, Linda? (is apple cider more
palatable?)

(just curious)

Which got me thinking. I think the post suggested adding a cup or so
to the feed each day. Say you have two horses, so you end up using 14 cups of
vinegar a week... where can you buy vinegar in these quantities? I live
in a hard water area, so was considering (if I ever actually had a horse
to feed)<grin> that this might be a good thing.
