I know you said he doesn't have ulcers, but picking at feed is a pretty big symptom. He may get a belly ache with all the travel excitement. Time on the road will help that also.

Chasin my Dream Posts: 13651 Location: Alberta	I agree keeping them on a schedule as the same as at home and water in front of them as much as possible, that can make a difference on how well they eat. I've never had horses who didn't clean up every ounce of food while on the road....
