We will, however, continue to feed horse soup (beet pulp, wheat bran, and salt served very wet and sloppy, hence the term “soup”) but it will be ladled out as lunch instead of being served as part of breakfast, with any supplements we’re feeding for you added at that time.

One note that should be a concern for every horse owner: According to Loomis Basin, vets generally see more sand colic in the month of August than any other month. If you don’t already adhere to a regular psyllium cleansing schedule, please consider it! We’ll administer it for you for free and I can offer some suggestions to help you cut costs on how and what to buy if that would be helpful.

As always, please call me with any questions — and especially so in light of the new feeding program.
