Change out the grain that he doesn't eat. Try a good quality complete sweet feed.....I'd use Nutrena 12 or 14%. He'll start eating.

Can You Hear Me Now? Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving	CYA Ranch - 2015-04-01 8:27 AM I've never had the problem. They start eating grain while still on the mares. Put them in with another horse - they'll figure it out. Same. If they didn't learn from momma; I usually watch them be nosy around their herd mates. My babies go from mare to mare picking at their grain buckets. After they are weaned if I grain out in the field they pick a friend and share... I just make sure they get their share.
