| Wanted to see what you all have found to be the best tricks to feed powdered supplements?
I have a horse that gets several powdered supplements, and I have a heck of a time keeping them from flying away or going to the bottom of the bucket.
Any suggestions? |

| Little bit of warm water. If you have to give multiple supplements then LAYER. Put a little grain then one supplement, then a little more grain and second supplement etc. Add a little water to the top and its perfect. |

Have you checked to see if you can get these in a pellet? My horses hardly will eat the powdered supplements, so I always get the pellet if it will come that way, like you my powder supplements would always be at the bottom of the feed buckets. Like others said try wetting your feed to get the powder to stick.. |
