I've had to start feeding my horse this as her feeds aren't being finished up. The morning one has bute in it and the night one has supplements in it. The night one she wasn't eating because she was keen to go out into the paddock after tea so was leaving it. The morning one she wasn't eating because she prefered to eat the nuts out of her ball, or her tummy was full from being out overnight. The supplements tended to make the feed a bit powdery but adding more chaff made it too much to eat. Supplements split between morning and tea I didn't feel would have quite the same impact.
I tried mixing loads of different things like dried mint, garlic, etc into it but it didn't have much effect so she now gets a fistful of D&H leisure mix in both meals and it goes down a treat. In fact she practically licks the bowl clean and looks around for more. Anyone else feed this? Is there anything I should be aware of?
