Best Answer

no. worms are parasites that come from the grass and larvae and eggs that horses ingest. they grow in the stomach and intestines and are passed in the feces and then are reingested as the horse eats more grass.

sugar is bad for horses for the same reason it is bad for people.

Apples, pears, bananas, carrots, watermelon, pitted dates, and most all other fruits. Hay cubes, oats, bran (etc), and alfafa cubes (made for horses).

Will feeding your horse sugary snacks give him cavities?

A sugar treat once in a while is ok for a horse. Too much of a good thing however will not be healthy for him but it would take a lot of sugar to rot his teeth. Instead of sugar cubes or other snacks with a high sugar content give your horse cut-up apples or pears. Horses are big carrot eaters too. The rule of thumb is "if it's not good for you it probably will not be good for him either".
