Was this the small block? or the 50 lb block? If it was the small block, that is about right I think. My four fjords go through a 50 lb block in no time. I just picked up several more 50 lb. Trace Mineral blocks today. Do NOT feed the blocks with selenium: he might indeed get too much selenium. It is better to feed a controled amount of selenium rather than free choice at a salt block containing selenium. >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?
