Jam sandwiches every time. Only way I can get mine to take bute. Raspberry goes down best but it has to be lots of it.

mint/linseed seems to mask the taste rather well :)
Alternatively, a mare on our yard will refuse it no matter what they do so they mix it with a little bit of cranberry juice and syringe right down her throat. done!

Try feeding it dry, it's already coated to hide the bitterness and sometimes getting it wet can take to coating off which means the horse can then smell it?
