Really interesting to hear all the reactions.
Do said affected horses have any behavioural problems around spring time too?

I can't understand why my boy was a failed racer....they should've just given him a scoop of sugar beet, it's like rocket fuel for him.
Last winter I swapped from his normal, branded (expensive) conditioning cubes to an economy brand. Everything (amount given, workload etc) was kept the same but I could not stay on the little b*gger! He was the devil!

I've had 2 hot headed horses ( arabX and now purebred arab)...current horse was an unmanageable nut job when I got him....having been fed on pasture mix and mollased chaff
And not enough hay- I think he's possibly prone to ulcers or at least an acid tummy...
He now just gets hay- loads of and a bucket full of Mollichaff calmer and he's fine. I can add a small amount of seedibeet to dampen, but any more than that and gets a bit a bit daft again.
Luckily he keep his weight...
Previous horse- what a nightmare- this was before I knew what I knew now....Baileys no4 Cubes sent him loopy, as did haylage, any type of mix even cool-mixes. Calm and condition wasn't too bad. Blue Chip fizzed him up totally. We're talking box- stress, barging- weaving- spooking.....the works.

My old loan mare went loopy on hifi lite. she was normally very sane and sensible, didn't really spook at anything would just stop and look, turned into a spooky stresshead switched to happy hoof and not had a problem. I feed my current two happy hoof and wouldn't try the bolshy one on hifi lite unless I had a death wish!
