I have bought the sugar beet pulp, the linseed and ordered the minerals the barefoot diet starts this weekend! I have also bought some spearmint leaves hoping they will help with palatability. I am anticipating a fusspot reaction to new foods, best tips please? Have been told the minerals need to be increased bit by bit until they are accepted. Exciting times. My horse is waiting to go to Rockley and so is still shod, in eggbars! He is a really good doer and is looking very 'well'! Farrier coming to shoe him in two weeks maybe for the last time???
Very exciting! Esp exciting about Rockley! I found it took a while for my girl to get used to the feed bowl that was laden with cardboard rather than sweets! She is ver very fussy though! I tried the mint but what I eventually found was that she preferred it if I sprinkled it on top of the food rather than mixing it all in. I also found when I was totally desparate that a bit of grated apple mixed in encouraged her as well. Fenugreek is also good.
