I had this exact problem until I decided to move yards 6 months ago. I now feed hay and from day one after moving his poo's turned from very loose to the extent we where having to wash his tail and legs every day, to normal. We did try lots of supplements but none of them made a noticeable...

Chilham park in kent have hunter trials on the 18th September, classes up to 1m, and always a nice course.
