slippery Elm

Hi

anyone know the cheapest place to purchase and also how much do you feed and do you just put into feed or do you mix into a paste first?

thanks

No idea if this is cheapest but Hilton Herbs is £58 per kg

Phone them for advice as to how to feed, probably best if the powder stirred with soaked Speedibeet and handful of chop rather than into a dry feed

Try e Bay it should be a lot cheaper. Also do a search on here and there was a thread a while ago about how much to use, I think it was 2 or 3 teaspoons mixed up with water. It goes to a "gloop" is all I can describe it as.

do you think you horse may have ulcers. If so try Global Herbs Acid X my horse is on it a the difference is incredible and she is also putting on weight and I have cut her feed down. Sorry if this is not the case.

she will be doing 6 weeks of box rest soon as needs an operation and is a stresshead so am planning on giving it to her to try to help prevent ulcers!!! She will have ad lib hay etc and I have put up stable mirrors etc. and just wanted to give her something to ease her stomach if she starts getting wound up being stuck inside.
