No, don't think I've ever heard of any species they don't like, sounds like a soft wood species, where is it native to ? I forget the species of pine they cut up there, logs come out of the Adirondack mountains, could be white or ponderosa pine, but they chew it up. Years back I can recall creosote being used to curb that habit, can't get that anymore, although telephone poles are saturated in it. I know they sell a substance to apply to the wood that they don't like, not sure how it works and if they are using it at our place. The boards eventually look like a mountain range once they chew em up. If we turn any horses out into the indoor riding area, they chow on the rails used for the jump fences. I think a lot of it is due to boredom, so it's good to keep em busy when you can, when there is no grazing in the pastures, and they get low on or don't like the hay, that top rail starts to look mighty tasty, especially the pine. Always a joy to take care of a bunch of horses, and the fences, never a dull moment !
