No in fact feeding only carrots would cause problems as a horse is not designed to eat carrots in large amounts. You should feed either pasture grass or a type of grass hay. A horse needs 1-2.5% of it's body weight in food daily and at least 60-70% of that should be roughage, but 100% roughage is best.

∙ 14y agoIt should be safe if you have a healthy horse with no weight problems or digesting problems. However, keep it at a minimum and don't make it a daily thing as having too many treats is bad for your horse as it is bad for us!

∙ 13y agoYes, horses like apples, carrots, bread, sugar, salt, lettuce and a few other things. One thing that horses should never be fed is celery. Because it is so stringy, it can choke the horse. Another thing is that you shouldn't feed a horse by hand. This is because
a) You may get bitten
b) The horse may grow accustomed to this and become foul tempered if they don't receive treats. They may bite your hands as you bridle them and might even get nastier than that.

∙ 13y agoit depends on how big the horse is if its a baby 3 but an adult would be around 13
I'm not sure where that came from. Horses do not NEED carrots, so there is no certain amount you have to give them. Carrots are a treat, and should be used sparingly.

∙ 13y agoYou want to keep your palm flat with the apple or carrot in the middle. Keep your fingers together so you don't have to worry about the horse accidently nibbling them instead!

What are characteristics of good horse feed?
I give my horse Silky 'Horseman's Edge'. It's a 50 pound pellet food bag with 10% fat in it, but there's a 12% too, not to mention there's some amazing good quality 'Horseman's Edge Sweet feed'.I found this to be the best horse feed there is, and Silky just loves it! It's probably the healthiest horse feed I found so far. It keeps you horse healthy,gives them energy and keeps them strong.
What does a horse usually eat?
If your horse was in the wild, its main diet would be grass and roughages. This is still fine for your horse to eat as a main food, but some people like their horse to have a 'complete' diet. They may feed their horse supplements and vitamins as an extra. Some people feed their horses feeds such as hay, pellets or a mix prepared especially for the horse by the owner. What you feed your horse depends on how often it is worked, and what discipline your horse is. For example, you wouldn't feed your trail pony a racing thoroughbred's diet.
WHAT ARE SOME TRICKS FOR A HORSE TO DO?
If it is a simple trick like bowing or give-me-your-hoof you demostrate the trick a couple of times over a duration of days presenting the carrot at first, doing the trick, then feeding him/her the carrot, or any other treat, as a bribe. Then, if you think you are ready, present a carrot to the horse, watch the trick and then feed. It may no happen straight away but after a month or two, you the horse will become fluent at the trick. Also, it depends on the horse. More intellegent horses such as Arabs and Lipanzzers will be able to pick it up far more quickly than a cob or a likkle shetland. Tempermental horses like particually moody throughbreds won't have any of it, and will inevibley kick you with annoyance (as I found out) so I wouldn't try it while the horse is still a stallion/in season, unless you do want to be trampled. Good luck.

What is a horse feed container called?
A horse usually eats out of a feed container called a trough. Some horses eat out of a feed bucket. It depends on what the owner provides.
