Coolstance Copra Meal - Rate it or Slate it?

my friend fed it for a bit but had to use quite a lot and found it very expensive. i have found micronised linseed does the job at a fraction of the cost
 
Neither my relatively fussy mare or absolute dustbin mare would entertain eating it! so pleased I decided to ask for a sample first
 
I have a fussy one who took a while to get used to it but he's like that with everything, he doesn't like change. However once he decided he liked it, he really likes and I can use it to disguise anything.
 
I had a healthy eater TB (he knew what was best for him) - came to me in bad condition and taught me a load about feeding. He would lose visable condition rather quickly the times I introduced copra to his meals (on top of current regime). I haven't feed it since - I always did as feds on my diets to make sure they were theoretically balanced as well. Oats were magic for him and are now my go to if I ever need to feed additional calories.
 
Does what everyone has said and improved condition and coat on my laminitic pony, BUT, and it's a big but, he went loopy on it. After he'd put me in hospital and left my horse with a leg injurythat has only just healed, I won't let him anywhere near it. He's now returned to his angelic self. It was also good for disguising supplements, but he became a danger to everyone and everything:(
 
I wanted it for weight gain but mine wouldn't eat the minimum they recommended as it swells 3 times its dry weight and the meals were too big. Then someone on my yard got there first and decided the soaked meal ready was too big and gave him a dry meal instead and he went right off it
 
Yo feeds it to most of the rs horses and seems to love it.

May need to think about putting H on it as he's looking quite old and tatty at the moment especially over his hips but he was never able to have things like sugarbeet as it affected his tummy has anyone found similar with this? He also has Cushings is it safe for such horses?
