Cowpats!!!!

My TB has had 'cowpat' poo's for a good month now.
He is out 24/7, with hard feed (Calm and condition + chaff), and in light work.
I thought this was due to the grass etc but it just isn't improving, if anything it's getting worse!
I have tried increasing his chaff, and not wetting down his food (apart from the C+C), I've put him on pink powder, I've tried giving him hay - but he just prefers the grass!
It's not easy to keep weight on him at the best of times, and although his weight dropped it is now steady, and he seems well in himself and in good condition. I've had him worm counted - all ok there.

Any suggestions/tips/help appreciated.

Hi
I have the same problem with my TB at this time of year. The grass is just too rich the only way was to limit his time on the grass, it worked straight away. The grass is changing already with the dry weather so Im increasing his grazing gradually at the moment and he seems to be ok.
