HELP!! MY HORSE IS EATING MEAT

As a matter of fact, horses will eat meat, and a number of things that we think they shouldn't be eating. This is mostly due to a lack of needed minerals in their diet, or in some cases it can be a habit formed out of boredom.

One of my mares was a prolific dirt clod eater that was until I introduced a mineral lick into her diet. Horses need to have a salt/mineral lick available to them as in the wild, salt licks occur naturally and the horses will consume as much as they need, which will vary day to day.

A salt lick is a more natural approach for the horse's digestion and constitution rather than being force fed man made mineral substitutes. See how it goes anyway. Robert has a really good article on the website in regards to minerals and habits, have a read.

There is also another article regarding mineral supplements you may wish to have a look at as well http://herbal-treatments.com.au/articles_herbalists_view.html

I hope this helped to answer your question, if you have any further problems don't hesitate to contact me.
