There has certainly been speculation on this point.  I think I was the first
to make this claim here in fact.  But as of yet, I have not heard of any
problems.  Maybe we are missing something.

A horse has multiple stomachs.  When it eats grass, it travels to the
fermentation stomach.  It is logical to assume that if that stomach is full
of CS it will prevent the fermentation.

But I am now wondering.  Where does the water go when they drink water? Does
it go to the final stomach? If so, the CS may not make it into the first
stomach at all. That would explain why some have claimed giving their horse
CS orally without difficulty.

Anyone know?
