I really don't care much what he eats during a ride as long as he eats. First
priortiy is drinking - he doesn't drink, he doesn't go on. As far as eating
he pretty much knows better than me. If I offer him wet feed, he wants it
dry. If I offer it dry, he wants it wet. If I offer alfalfa hay, he wants
grass hay and if I offer grass hay he wants alfalfa.

The only thing that is a sure thing he will eat is grass and if he turns
his nose up at grass, I probably also pull - don't know since he's never
done it. 

So I try to set up in a grassy spot with both wet and dry feed, alfalfa hay
and three different types of grass hay plus peanut hay. Then I watch him
walk to the next guys spot to check out what they have:-).
