Anyone else's horse react badly and become an absolute monster when fed baileys lo cal?
Long story short, 17h tb was an absolute demon!!! Nightmare to handle, broke my hand, kicked me in my back, seriously had me questioning my life choices.
Went away for rebacking and came home a completely different horse, super chilled, easy going. Thought they had sent the wrong horse back!! He was only fed haylage whilst there.
Please no negative comments about that, horse didn't drop a spec of weight and has come home looking fab!
Put him back on usual feed a few days after he come home, turned into said demon child again. Took him off and mellow and chill again so I know it's the feed.
It's absolutely baffled me as I'd never expect a balancer to cause such a dramatic change in behaviour!
Anyone dealt with similar? Or managed to narrow down the ingredient that could be causing the sass so I can avoid using in other feeds in future?
Just to add, I don't expect perfect behaviour constantly, he is young and full of life. I just appreciate not fearing for my life every time I handle the big daft lump.
