This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BRIAN C JACOBSEN) Ann Restad asked:
...what do you think about the salt factor in keeping [horses] hydrated? Having salt available for horses in the winter can help keep them more hydrated. The more salt they lick, the more water they will want to drink. Sometimes people think salt/mineral blocks are only important in the summer when horses are sweating, but they are important in winter also. Another interesting thought about dehydration; When animals (or people) are dehydrated, they are less able to control their body temperature and heat or cold bothers them much more.
