How to Introduce MUSCLE MAX BARS

1. Offer in your hand

Break up some very small, sugar cubed-sized pieces of the bar and mix in your hand with some of their usual pellet feed.Hand feed your horse and see if they’re happy to eat the pieces of the bar this way. If they are, then slowly reduce the amount of feed mixed in. Soon, they’ll be eating the bar on its own. If this doesn’t work, try using some liquorice, or another treat you know your horse loves. Cut the treat up the same size as the pieces of the bar and mix them together in your hand, hand feed them again this way.
2. Overnight temptation

If your horse won’t eat it from your hand at all, leave a few of the small pieces of the bar on top of their feed in their feed bin overnight.
In the morning, if the pieces of bar are gone, then you know that they will eat the bar, you just have to train them to eat it from your hand now.
3. Engage curiosity

If you have another horse nearby that you know loves the taste of the MUSCLE MAX BARS, feed that horse while yours misses out.
If your horse is easily motivated by curiosity and envy then this is an acceptable way to get them to eat the bar.
4. Soaking

Soak small pieces of the MUSCLE MAX BARS in warm water. Then, mix the pieces in with a little bit of chaff, making the bar look more like traditional horse feed. Once they eat this and get the taste through their mouth, put some small pieces of unsoaked bar into the mix. See if they’ll eat the unsoaked bar, if they do, then offer the small pieces of bar from your hand.
