            Feeding Tips

            ◆   Start slowly by mixing a small amount of powder into the feed.
            ◆   Add the powder to the feed and dampen with water. (Spray bot-
              tles can be helpful.) Shake the container to mix the powder with
              the feed. This will also prevent the powder from settling in the
              bottom of the feeding container.
            ◆   Mix with unsweetened applesauce and add to the horse’s feed or
              syringe directly into the horse’s mouth.

            ◆   Add to a mash made of commonly found low-starch pelleted
              feeds or soaked hay cubes.
