Chris,

That's 2 oz/day, not 2 cups. Why do you want to feed so much?

Not seeing a CH at your link. Wanted to check his weight. 

I had had great success using mostly all ODTB cubes for 30 y/o PPID with no teeth. At all. Suggest adding more ODTB and then perhaps slowly lowering the Carb Safeas he builds weight.

I’m dealing with similar issues.  Someone suggested a feed bag for Logo because he spills so much.  I’ve been playing with one for awhile, sometimes with better results than others.  He’s had this adorable habit, as long as I’ve owned him, of sharing his food with his neighbor and I have a hard time controlling that horse’s weight as it is.  This limits the sharing.  When I began researching feed bags, I learned that many people use them on horses in groups to alllow some of them extra feed.

Thank you for reminding me of this Martha.  I used a feed bag as well for Beau.  it was to make sure he ate all of his pergolide/Nuzu mix, but I can see how well it would work for the need to get in extra meals.

Thanks for the suggested alternative, Chris.  I’ve been using the Cashel bag, which has been fine for the most part.  It’s only getting used in his stall.  I had some old canvas feed bags that belonged to my MIL which I think I may have unfortunately discarded.  Should you ever get the brilliant idea to set the the feed in a small feed bucket inside the feedbag, I advise you to control yourself.  I read about it somewhere and it seemed perfect for facilitating cleanup.  Once your horse floods his stall by submerging this get up into his water bucket, you will understand why.
