Re: RC: camouflage the supplement

[Maureen Mathisen <blueoak@snowcrest.net>]

In regards to camouflaging medicine or supplements, I have had very good
luck with pouring in a little molasses or honey, adding a handful of
bran, and then mixing it thoroughly with my hands.(gets a little sticky,
but really works it all in.  Worming can also be done this way if you
have a crafty horse who just "knows" when you are coming with the wormer
and grows l8 hands taller!).
