The tip about the banana powder was great for picky eaters, wouldn't have thought of that!

This is different than other information I've researched. I need to do further research because I'm not sure if what this person is advising is correct. I've heard NOT to feed alfalfa in the beginning for example. I've also heard that initially, it's too much shock on an emaciated horse to worm and do dental because of the shock of drugging a a horse to do the dental work is too risky until the worst risk is over.
