Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	I've been feeding Cur-Ost for a few months and have been quite happy with it. My horse was eating it well mixed in with his feed. HOWEVER a couple weeks ago I moved him from a dry lot to a 20+ acre pasture. He is thriving and stuffs himself with grass all day and wants absolutely nothing to do with any grain or feed. He will take one bite then just is not interested. So that means he's not getting his cur-ost in him. Is it possible to mix it with something and just syringe it into their mouths? Applesauce or some sort of oil or something? IDK. Or a way to turn it into a "treat" that I can hand feed him (cause he still loves treats!)

Not sure if your horse is an ulcer prone horse but in my experience when they turn away ration (especially if they've previously eaten the same thing no problem) they have a sore gut. Sorry -- not much help in ways to get it into him without grain :(
