Hi Reefbox,
I have always started training to frozen by offering only frozen foods for the first feed in the morning, when they are most hungry.
Give them about 30-45 minutes to try it. Then add live food to be sure they eat. Be sure to always observe them while training .

Next feed, mix frozen and live. Over time, as they become accustomed to the frozen, slowly decrease the live and increase the frozen until they are only eating the frozen foods.
Be patient and keep at it and before you know it , they will have converted to frozen.

As has already been mentioned, be sure you gut load(feed) the live brine something good , such as Spirolina before feeding out to the horses.
It's also very important to feed your horses a variety of foods to ensure good health and longevity.

HTH
