Drew and Red could have given Pepper some Cumin to help give him some energy. They could have mixed in McCormick's Cumin with his food and given it to Pepper once a day. Cumin is safe for horses. Giving Pepper some Cumin wouldn't have hurt him. However, if Pepper was on a blood thinner, Ulcer medicine or other pain medicine such as Bute they would have had to wait until Pepper was finished with the medicine before giving him Cumin.
