UPDATE
iv worked out he will eat ers pellets with his linseed and equimins advance complete mixed together so thought if I use this as his daily two feeds and than put the coolstance copra and fast fibre in a different bucket in his stable to get use to and pick on while he's in? He actually ate his coolstance copra today after having the whole day to think about it so would this be ok?is this diet ok?

Powdered gelatine is great for hooves - jsu mix a sachet into his feed, or if he's being difficult, feed him a cube of jelly (try and get a sugar free, healthy brand)

TMG - you are in good company. Lots of horses have a tantrum when you take the sugar/starch out of their diet. And as others have said you do have to work through it and not give in. Would you give heroin to a drug addict or chocolate to a diabetic just because they had a hissy fit?
Once they get over that initial 'coming down' period they are generally much easier. But of course as hind gut fermenters you need to make changes over a period of time and not change everything at once.
Post initial sugar weaning off period my Grace progressed through 'Placid' and various flowery things like chamomile and lemon balm and now prefers savoury.
Tough love!
Good luck
