Thanks.

Oh ... how much do you put in the bottle?

I've tried this a bit, but while he doesn't dislike the Dynaspark, he  
isn't crazy about it, either.  Then again, he is the only horse I've  
ever known that snorted and backed away from plain molasses.   He  
likes it on his beet pulp, but won't lick it off my hand.  I tried  
the applesauce / Dynaspark, but he wouldn't touch it voluntarily, so  
I think I must have gotten too much dynaspark in the mix.
