Well I brought him in this afternoon and he managed to eat a scoop of Build Up Mix plus 2 handfuls of pasture mix with a bit of chaff - that has taken him since 4 p.m. I put a manger over the door and he seemed a bit better with that.
He's eating the odd mouthful of haylage but the haynet is still half full.
What is interesting though is that I have cut him some nice clover grass and he's gobbled down 2 filled buckets of it.
This is positive I hope. I am dreading the thought that he just might not be an eater at all and I'm going to struggle with him. I'm so used to having a real pig of a horse so this is quite upsetting.
Do you think that once he's got into a routine things might look up a bit?!! I really hope so otherwise I've definately bought the wrong horse and it would be an expensive mistake to make.
