Many green apples are bad for horses because they have alot of acid and are gassy, which could make them sick. Apples could also cause colic. Preferably, give your horse snacks like carrots and hay or if you are going to feed them apples, opt for Red Declicious.

Do apples cause horse colic?

No apples cant replace horses hay. Apples should be given as a treat. They dont have enough nutrients in them. Hay is pretty much special kinds of dried grasses(alfalfa, timothy, etc.) and is required if you want a healthy horse. Do some research on the internet to find out where you can get hay, and how much to feed your horse every day.

What food do horses not like?

Horses have very different foods they like just like people. Most will eat their regular meals of grass or alfalfa hay and/or grain. DO NOT feed horses grass clippings from lawn mowers. These are VERY poisonous and are very fatal in most instances. There are numerous amounts of plants that are not safe for horses, but most of them are smart enough not to eat it. Do not feed horses very much apples, carrots, treats, sugar cubes, peppermints (not very safe anyways!). These can make them sick and encourage bad behaviors like nipping/biting though especialy make sure they dont eat ANY acorns they are VERY poisonous.
