Um...maybe she's been eating pasture grass and isn't hungry?
My horse sometimes won't eat her grain if she's been eating
a lot of hay - like when we are camping or in the winter
when it's cold.  Or she may be excited about the change in
scenery, or worried about other horses coming and going.

You could try dressing the hoof supp with molasses to see if
she'll eat it.
_______________________
Can someone tell me how to get a horse to eat?  I moved my horse from a 
boarding stable and 24 hr stall care, to a pasture.  It's been 3 weeks, and I 
haven't been able to get her to eat her grain.  She has never cared for dry 
food, so I always soak her some beet pulp and add a little grain, and her 
supplements, but now she won't even look at it.  She really needs her selinium 
and hoof care supplements, but I don't know how to get them down her.  The 
selinium I can syringe into her mouth, but can't her hoof supplements.  Open to 
any suggestions.
