Today, we bought Spice and the rest of the herd a salt lick as there isn't much grass in the paddock at the moment and they all look a bit sorry for themselves so we thought it would help keep them entertained aswell as being nutritionally good for them. Spice loved it and would not leave it alone for apparently the first hour of it being there so it was obviously something she needed. I also bought her a mixture of 'calming herbs' as i had ran out of the magnesium i was feeding her so thought i would replace it with some herbs which also happen to contain magnesium. I have given Spice herbs before and they really do work - i find they help 'take the edge off' of her anxiety so are well worth the money. The herbs i purchased are chamomile, lemon balm, vervain, scullcap and lime Flowers of which can be bought here:

As for Spices hoof it is still on the mend the crack in the heel has almost grown out but she still seems tender on it. I will know more when the barefoot trimmer visits this s
