[QUOTE="Terri, post: 27676, member: 325"] Thanks for th information Running Arrow Bill. My horses are on the Nutrena Prime. 14% I think. My mare is getting 12lbs (weighed) a day plus turnout on the bermuda. When it rains. Thats kinda iffy in my part of S. Texas. This year has been really wet though. There are mineral blocks in each stall and they have access all day. They are also on vitamins. I tried the molasses tubs but they were fighting over it and I found that it is difficult to get molasses out of forelocks. And ears. And manes. And halters. We have been...correction I have been monitoring her manure characteristics since I brought her home. My husband thinks I'm being parinoid, but he's never had a horse colic. Her piles look like something a small colt would leave. Very small "apples" in very small piles. LOTS of small piles. They are getting bigger. My vet said it may be because she was so full of tapeworms. Only time will tell. I just hope I can get her eating hay when summer rolls around or she may loose the weight I have been putting on her. The rain (and grass) won't last much longer. I'm surprised its lasted this long. Last year it rained on March 28th (daugheters b-day) and then nothing until the 3rd of July. I didn't think this mare would last the summer, not with the temp at 115 for 2 months straight. Horses would stand next to the water hose and wait for me to come out and hose them off. My neighbour told me to sell her, but she's well trained and pretty. I'm hoping my daughter will be able to show her for 4-H next year. [/QUOTE]
