Most of them do, but it really depends on the horse.

One may eat them until there is no more, while another could shun it completely. They also like carrots and, if used very moderately, peppermints. But you should check with your vet before ever feeding a horse anything strange like people food.

Just to improve this answer a little, you can give your horse a apple now and again but it not recommended to give him/her more the 2 a day. Apples as you know contain acid, this could cause problems for the horse in his/her's stomach so its recommended you keep a close eye on how many you or someone else is feeding apples to your a horse.

Horses like anything sweet, such as apples and carrots, although they will sometimes eat bananas and grapes. However, a horses diet consists of grass only.

Carrots and apples are both rather sweet in taste. Horses are known to have somewhat of a 'sweet tooth'. I guess it's like for us eating a good cookie.

Do horses like carrots or apples better?

It depends on the horse and what the horses diet is. Some horses like carrots more than apples and some horses like apples more than carrots. Never feed your horse too much treats, like carrots and apples, because too much treats will make your horse too fat and they cannot burp or puke so they will die in the next 12 hours or so.

Horses Require a diet of: * grain (ask your vet or someone knowledable about horses to see what is best for your horse) * hay (in the winter) * grass every season except for winter (hay can be fed during these seasons too * minerals (good for the horses, they require minerals so it is important to have it for them, dont force them to eat them, they eat them when they need to) * salt block (have a salt block in a place where the horse can lick if he desires too, same as the minerals, do not force him to eat it.) * electrolytes (not mandatory but a good thing to have) Treats: * Carrots (yum) * Apples (yum) * Molasses * oats
