Equus - October 2005
"Many horses require medications or feed supplements
in their older years. And although adding a top dressing or grinding up a few pills
to add to each meal sounds straightforward enough, it can be a logistical challenge
in some boarding situations. There are a few ways you can make sure your hourse
gets what he needs: Grind up medications and place daily portions in individual
'baggies' that can be dumped onto rations, or purchase containers with premeasured
doses of medications and supplements, such
as SmartPaks. Just be sure that the baggies or containers
are clearly marked with your horse's name."
