Well, this will teach me to read NR first.
At the feed shop today I saw a garlic horselyx and thought, "Oh, the boys might like that". Gave it to them after their food and Ziggy bullied Mattie off it, so shot off to get another (don't like bullying).
By the time I got back - say 1 hour tops - Ziggy (horse sense score 10) was peacefully grazing and Mattie (horse sense score 0) was still licking. He had eaten about 10% of a 5 kg tub. I looked at the contents - 30% MOLASSES! Eek!
I took the offending lick away. But Mattie has now eaten about 200g of neat sugar.
Is this bad for him? Will he be bonkers tomorrow??? :help:
