Default ? to people who board and give supplements

I board horses and some of them get supplements in their PM food. I have noticed it doesn't get eaten. I asked the owners if this is usual and they say the horse usually eats it they think. But, they do not do the feeding or see the bowls afterward. Does the person doing the stall and feed bucket cleaning just pitch it and not tell the owner? Who knows...so for you all that give supplements and do not do the feeding, do you know for sure the horse is eating them or is the caretaker just pitching it?

Buddysgirl, this is not really an answer to your question, but i am having the same issue. a couple times in a row i have looked in his grain bucket and his coughfree was laying smack dab in there untouched with some grain around it. I know he doesnt like it but he has eaten it normally. he also gets this at night. hmm..just though id add on. maybe try and stick around for a feeding if you can and see if he eats it or is pulled out to pasture before hes done. some barn owners do this when they are in a hurry..GRRR

Thanks for the reply..
I run a boarding facility and give all the supplements etc...
some places do not even mention certain things about the feeding, I always let the owner know when things change in their horses behavior, habits etc...like when a horse starts to eat their own poop I let the owner know so they can get a mineral supplement but some folks would not even take notice,
But my question was how do you all know if your horses is getting what you think they are. Can you trust that the care taker is giving it? Do you see results?
Anyway just curious because some of the girls I board here don't even ask or check bowls etc...

I board and I want to know everything that changes. We do the evening feedings of our horses so we know if there is a problem with the supplements.


If we are gone to a show, we can depend on the BM to feed for us. He will call and let us know if anything changes in the eating habits.

Use SMARTPAK !! You will know if your horse is getting the supplements or not if you have any left over at the end of the month !!

I myself have never had the problem you guys are. But maybe the horses have noticed, heythat stuff is gross I'll just eat around it. Try adding a little corn oil to it. it'll change the taste and they should get it all. Believe me, I used it for magic when she refused to eat her feed with some time of powder i got from the vet. She gobbled it down like that. =3 i hope this helps
