Re: feeding prascend in a mix

Hi Bev, You can feed it in something else but you need to be 10000% sure that the Prascend is getting in him and not falling to the floor or being spit out. I will use a standard 3cc syringe for most

Re: Horse eating his own manure

EMS horses cannot be free fed in most cases. They will overeat. Double or triple netted hay nets is the way to go, with weighed amounts of hay. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001
