I have heard of using the oil versus the bran itself, and it seems there are pros and cons to each method, although I suspect the dietary benefits are the same.<BR/><BR/>I'm starting with the rice bran meal, but if it seems cumbersome, I'll try the oil. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me of this option - and I'd love to read more about how it's working for your horses if you feel like sharing that here.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-88891591424517220732008-06-24T22:06:00.000-05:002008-06-24T22:06:00.000-05:00Say, have you tried adding rice bran oil??I buy mi...Say, have you tried adding rice bran oil??I buy mine by the case of gallons at www.californiariceoil.com-plus I use the rest to cook with-works great for all of us people and horses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-86102047194691970242008-06-24T10:49:00.000-05:002008-06-24T10:49:00.000-05:00Hey, Linda... no pressure from outside - just my o...Hey, Linda... no pressure from outside - just my own compulsion to respond to comments (b/c I enjoy them and want to respond) that I need to balance.<BR/><BR/>I am certain I won't be able to resist sharing the entry of Redford into this crew of personalities plus... :)<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well at 7MSN.

It did not escape my notice that the solstice did indeed bring some powerful energy this year. <BR/><BR/>There is of course a subtext to this whole post that I simply don't have time to write here, but as usual, Salina is on the far forward edge of knowing and revealing. How fascinating it is to live with her and walk through all the layers of things she presents to me.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-83072862342013791282008-06-24T07:55:00.000-05:002008-06-24T07:55:00.000-05:00Arlene, I'm not entirely sure I'm completely back,...Arlene, I'm not entirely sure I'm completely back, but I appreciate the sentiment!<BR/><BR/>I'm going to see how things roll this week and I may need to turn comments off again. For now I'll enjoy them, though... :)<BR/><BR/>My understanding about the choke is that if you treat it very quickly it rarely has negative after-effects. We've been lucky so far, with our 2 episodes.<BR/><BR/>It's going to be such a treat to see Rafer and Redford meet and make friends. I'm also looking forward to seeing how Salina responds. <BR/><BR/>Keil Bay basically wants to up the ante with his ability to charm me - in hopes that I will give him more breakfast. He had been tossing halters for a number of days and when that didn't get quite the same reaction from me, i.e. charmed laughter and a barrage of compliments on his incredible personality, he merely came up with something better. A friend suggested we learn to work cows, and oddly enough, I have looked up two farms in the past year who do just that with dressage horses. Maybe he's giving me a hint...!<BR/><BR/>There is so much going on here. I've not written a quarter of it on the blog, and that's why I'm seriously wondering if I should be blogging at all right now.<BR/><BR/>We'll see. Thanks for coming by so quickly!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-87444104221301030592008-06-23T22:11:00.000-05:002008-06-23T22:11:00.000-05:00Love the post.

That is very scary. <BR/>Redford is adorable. I'll bet you can't wait until he comes home. <BR/>Keil Bay sounds as if he wants to be a roping cowboy. He better watch he doesn't put an eye out, like my mother used to say.<BR/>You've certainly been busy these last few days.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
