Too little time, too much to read.
All winter I fed my pony pro hoof in molasses free chop with no problems. He was stabled with just a short daily turnout.
He is now out at night and comes in for the day, with a haynet that he eats very little of. He is the correct weight, is barefoot and being hacked around 30 miles a week. His feet are great
Since being out more he no longer wants to eat his chop and minerals. I tried a few types and I have also tried using fast fibre. He is obviously not particularly hungry so doesn't eat it. He won't eat it without the minerals in either, I tried it in case it was that. He quite happily will eat all the carrots I have, but that's no good for mixing minerals in.
What can I give him that will be tasty enough for him to eat, that I can mix his minerals in and is barefoot friendly.
