Horses are like humans in that they get hot and nervous.  Topper wolfs down his evening meal (such a comforting sound...slurp! slurp! slurp!...almost like a generator!) but gets picky during the ride.  Sometimes he doesn't eat at all during a check but then decides he's a starvin' Marvin' on trail.  That grass is good stuff and well worth the time.  Charlie is a different cat.  I have to fix his evening meal differently each day.  So, know your horse.  Also, get with your friends and share stuff.  Charlie will walk around and nibble out of eveyone elses' stuff.
