Before I started worrying if there was something wrong or if he needed a different food, I'd cut out all these extras. I read something once that made a case for grazing and eating crap being a bit of a learned behavior, not always a sign of health problems. Sorry if someone else allready made the point, but quit letting him eat all these things. Not only is this spot on, but until you do this, you have no idea of what his usual or normal GI system produces. If you fed dog food to a horse, the horse would have terrible gas, feces, and GI distress.

We don't even know how to assess the poop's smell and appearance for likelihood of giardia until he is not eating hay (first-hand or used).

That is one thing that my boarders would go balistic over for those show horses. I will try to keep him in his barn box by finding a high gate that would give him a 12 x 12 space Lucifer!
