to have them all loose 24x7, but without the stall time, I can't get Roo to eat at all.  He will eat hay, as much as I would let him have, but he will not touch any form of concentrates except as a last resort.

T:
It could be possible he's stressed with his present company, and
only feels relaxed enough to eat in a stall (where he feels safe?)
With a stud and mare very close by, he's got to be low man.
If it's possible, you may need to change his living conditions.
