Got a question for you guys. I have a horse that
is extremely resistant to change. Just putting him in a new pen causes him
to quit eating and pace and/or weave for several days. Taking him to a
ride is becoming a problem. He picks at his food at camp and this
continues for about 2-3 days after returning home as well. I'm getting
frustrated about getting this guy to eat! Other than the food problem, he
loves the trail and is very competitive and willing to trot all day, so I hate
to pull him out of endurance riding. Any suggestions as to how I could get
him to stop being so prissy about his food every time the locale
changes? (stats: He's a 9 year old half Arab gelding who
was born here. He spent 2 years at a show trainers during years 4-6 with
another owner, then came back to me where we started trail/endurance
riding. The food problem seems to have started about 2 years ago or
so.)
