Ah ok have now read the whole thing and see that half of what I've written doesn't apply, oops!
Also another really random thought but APF (forageplus sell it but it's not the cheapest) can allegedly improve appetite in PPID horses on Prascend. Unsure if it is believed to have this effect in "normal" horses but if nothing else works may potentially be worth a go. It's an adaptogen / supposed to help combat the effects of stress so shouldn't cause harm even if it doesn't work. I bought some randomly to have in if mine went on hunger strike again and did then end up using it in a paranoid way when he had a footy episode the other month. The taste appears not too unpleasant as he let me syringe it directly into his mouth (although it appears to taste a bit worse than Prascend)
