This message is from: Mike and Casey Rogillio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ""We finally have located a source for "hog fuel" which will keep the blowing dust down and discourage digging in the dust for that last 1/8 inch of grass.""
Peg, you may already be aware of one of the dangers of hog fuel, but just in case you're not, I feel compelled to share it with you anyway. In Washington a trainer and his wife lost both their horses due to juniper in their hog fuel. Evidently it takes a minute amount to kill a horse, and if I remember correctly there is no cure, only death. They'd just gotten a fresh load and gotten it spread out and turned their horses out in the area. It was a horrible tragedy for them both. I can get further details if you'd like. I just had to share this with you, to please make certain your hog fuel contains nothing toxic to horses. Casey
