My horses have never consumed the amount of 2/1 mineral that they are eating now. In the past male horses consumed very little and mares a bit more. Now even the stallions are eating the mineral down.
Over the winter my hay has had a significant amount of broom straw in it. That is not a problem by itself but the broom straw was evidence of a lack of calcium in the hay. I am increasing every ones access to 2/1 mineral now.
It helps them all to have stronger immune systems and helps the little ones to grow, just like Wanchese, my favorite Shackleford stallion, and Aiden, my favorite grandson.
