Rolled vs Crimped vs Hulless (Naked) vs Re-cleaned OATS

["LindaK" <jazena@kelp.net>]

Hi list,   

I'm hoping someone can suggest which of the above type of oats would be the best for putting weight on my horse. 

He is not a good eater and just plays with his food taking one or two bites, then walking around/away from his food.  I had his teeth floated in December, but no noticeable improvement in his eating.

I just brought him home, yesterday, from the stable he was boarded at so I can work as getting some weight on him.  He will be five yrs. next month.

I will be feeding 2 flakes alfalfa hay, beet pulp pellets, Alfalfa & Bermuda Hay Pellets, with 1/2 c corn oil, twice a day. (Will feed less hay if he doesn't eat it all)

He is also on Methanamine for a bladder problem, mixed with 2 cups of bran, 2 oz vinegar, 2 oz maple syrup, twice a day.  People have suggested I feed him a pound of oats at lunch to help put on weight, but which type is best?

Thank you,

Lindak
