Aloe vera palatability

[Green Bean]

I am wanting to start my horse on aloe vera juice but am wondering on its palatability. Looking at comments for the human version of the juice, there seems to be a few comments about its taste. Has anyone tried it and if so has your horse / pony reacted to the introduction? I will obviously introduce it slowly but mainly worried about its taste

None of ours have ever turned their noses up at it. We just mix it with Agrobs Wiesencobs.

I've never had any problem I just stick a full dose in the feed.

Its really a mild taste. Ive drunk it and given it to (fussy) horses who never had a problem having it mixed into feed.

The green outer leaf part is bitter. The inner gel part is benign in taste. There *may* be some companies selling the whole leaf juiced, but that is rare in my experience. You would know if the outer leaf had been juiced with it because it would have a greenish colour. All aloe vera juice/gel ive ever bought has been a clear or milky colour. Never green.

Tried syringing it as I was told it was more effective than mixing in feed- pony strongly objected. He will eat it in his feed. Honestly though I'm not sure its helped with his gut problems.

Mine eat if fine in the feed and they can be fussy with things.

He doesnt even notice it is in his dinner

Thanks everyone for your responses, reassuring to know I shouldn't have any palatability issue
