Haven't heard that one. I think the most common causes of drooling that I see in order from most common to least common are: 1) foxtail or thistle sores 2) baby teeth that don't want to shed 3) choke 4) clover 5) foreign bodies, i.e. wire, sticks, etc. > In regards to the salt blocks. My horses used to use both the brown > mineral/salt block and the plain salt blocks. I wouldn't really bother with the mineral blocks. There just isn't enough mineral in those things to add much to the diet, especially if you are already feeding a commercial diet. Just stick with the salt blocks as a treat and to ensure adequate water intake. Steve Steve and Amy White Prairieholm Farm Waterloo, Nebraska
