[RC] Sweet Tooth - Picky Eater - chicamuxenI have a gelding that drives me nuts at rides. He turns picky about his feed. No he doesn't have ulcers, he isn't nervous or stressed. He just plain prefers textured or "sweet" feed. He's never been fond of beet pulp or soaked feeds of any type either. He will eat alfalfa at home but only picks at it during a ride. He prefers to eat green grass and sweet feed. I of course don't want to feed him sugar ladened high carb feeds during a ride. He's quite a pill at the vet checks, interested in everything around him, can't stay still, gets into every thing. I dread taking tack ock off because getting him resaddled while he wiggles and shifts and wanders is a pain in the $*^$!!!! Luckily, he is an easy keeper so I not dealing with a horse who had little reserves to draw on. But I need to get feed in him during the ride and there isn't always good grazing available. He doesn't care for the forage based Triple Crown pellets I tried to switch him to. I knew that would be too easy to work. Anyone have any suggestions on a feed that might interest my "sweet tooth" boy that is still based on fiber?? Or should I just cave in and feed him what ever he'll eat?
