    [RC] Spooking appy - Maggie Mieske


    What is this horse being fed?  I discovered early on that feeding Malik sweet feed  would turn him into a blithering idiot and he would spook at ANYTHING when I rode him...since he did not normally do that with me and the only thing I had changed at the time was an increase in sweet feed (ran out of something and decided to make it up with a couple of extra pounds of the stuff), I surmised the change/increase in feed was the culprit.  I took him OFF the sweet feed and he was fine after that.  Doesn't mean he never spooks just that the spooks on the extra sweet feed were especially extra sensitive and out of character for him.  Just a thought to consider...
