The probiotics are supposed to help.  Sure worked on Kaboot during the
ride.

Exactly.  Kaboot has gotten where he doesn't want to eat corn oil at a
ride.  He eats it at home where he's having to fight the ponies off, but
when there's no competition, he just leaves it.  I figure, grain without
oil is better than none at all.  So he gets it his way.  Haven't tried
the probiotics on this problem...yet.

When I bought my trailer the last owner had done this because his
Saddlebred pawed the mats up.  The only drawback was when I cleaned the
trailer.  I had to sit something on them to hold them back while I swept
it.
