Troubleshooting

Horse is not eating the mash.

Ensure the mash is properly soaked and has cooled. Try adding a small amount of palatable ingredients like grated carrots or a touch of molasses (in moderation) to enhance flavor. Consult your vet to rule out any underlying health issues.

Mash appears too dry or too wet.

Adjust the amount of water used during preparation. For a drier mash, use less water; for a wetter consistency, add more water. The ideal consistency is soft but not soupy.

Horse shows signs of digestive upset.

Reduce the amount of mash being fed. Introduce the mash slowly. Ensure your horse has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Consult your vet if the issue persists.
