From what I have read, and experienced, crab apples are fine if given in an appropriate amount. The seeds have a poisonous toxin in them, but have not shown any harm if in small dosses. I have a crap apple tree in my horse field and my horses won't eat them from the tree, but if I give them to them they will. If a horse eats too many, it might shoes signs of discomfort. If you are concerned about feeding them to your horse, cut the core out. The white bitter, sour taste will be fine for the horse, again if given in high quantity your horse could experience a sore tummy, and or diarea. I hope this helps :)
I have heard that it is dangerous for horses to eat crab apples because they are poisonous to them. This is the same as acorns which can kill them if they eat too many because they can not digest them.
There are a number of different animals that eat crabgrass. These include goats, horses, cows, dogs, sheep, and rabbits.
Many rodents eat crab apples. Deer, rabbits, raccoons, and other plant eating animals eat crab apples. Other creatures eat crab apples too, like worms.
Don't feed horses rotten apples
They love them.
no they can eat anything
Horses can eat carrots, apples, and hay!
Yes, If you hear someone say "horse apples" they mean bodark apples! Horses LOVE them!
While a crab apple may not hurt your horse, too many crab apples can cause a horse to colic and/or founder. These are serious health problems, colic being the number one reason for emergency veterinary visits and one of the leading causes of equine death in the US. If your horse is pastured with a crab apple tree, the best thing to do if the horse can't be removed from the area is to pick all the apples so the horse no longer has access to them.
well some worms eat apples..........and horses do too!
yes they like fruit a lot
