First...

I apologize, this is probably in HTML. We have AOL 6.0 and have
contacted AOL regarding this problem (my husband was booted from a
list due to this too) and they have said they are "fixing" it. Which
means it will be 6 months before they have a new version to download.
So my sincere apologies, I promise not to post too often.

OK, my question. I'm aware of how horses need salt and minerals in
their diet. So while I was at the feed store I picked up a block (one
of the brown ones) for Baldur. Put it in his stall and it was gone
within a week. In fact as soon as it was in the holder he started at
it. So here's my question...how much is too much? Should I replace it
as fast as he goes through it? Should I add salt to his feed instead?
Could I crumble a block and add that? Or will table salt suffice?
Could this be a sign he is lacking something?

His stats...
Mature gelding (12)
In full work (6 days per week, 1 hour per day plus lessons given on
him)
Feed...1 cup of Trotter (pelleted feed) 2x daily,
2 flakes of grass hay 5x daily
biotin supplement for his gross feet
free choice water
5 hours of turnout on "grass" (haha...not)

Whatever suggestions you guys have will be greatly appreciated. I also
have a client who would like a clone of my guy...14.2ish, mellow,
likes to jump...we're in the CT/RI area but will travel within New
England and New York.

Thanks!!
