What else can I help you with?
Is knapweed safe for horses?
No. It is a very dangerous and poisonous plant for horses that can give a horse colic or even result in death.
Can you give horses grass clippings?
No you can't because horses are grazing all the time throughout the day, and only eating small amounts at a time. So when you give them grass cuttings they are eating far much more grass as when they are grazing so their digestive system can't handle all the grass at one time, and it will most probably give them colic, and then they may die.
What happens to horses when farmers go on holiday?
some horses stay on pastures and as long as there is plenty of water, should be fine with just grass. that is how our horses are. but with horses that stay in stables and depend on us to feed them, you may need to ask a friend or neighbor to look after them and give them feed hay and water.
Can green apples make horses sick?
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.

What happens if a horse eats scratch feed?
I would depend on how much he ate. A small amount would probably not do any harm. But a larger quantity may give him the colic or even cause an impaction. Keep all feed (horse or chicken) locked up. I have known of horses turning doorknobs, lifting or sliding latches, ect, to get to the feed. Any feed needs to be kept locked.
How do you keep a horses condition up in Howrse?

Do horses like vegetables?
NO! leek is poisinous to horses and other animals. Always ask a vet about things you are unsure of. Horses are rather vulnerable animals when it comes to ingesting plants and other substances that can be harmful to them. The reason is that horses do not have the ability to throw up. What goes in can only come out one way, and if it fails to do so, you horse will develop colic. This can be minor enough that you can give your horse some pain killer (see vet for correct doseage) and it will pass though, or it can be deadly. Not many horse owners have the money to pay for a colic operation that is not always succesful. The lobelia plant is also harmful to your horse.

Will feeding your cattle sweet feed for horses harm them?
Not if you're careful about how much you give them. If you feed it in moderation, no it won't harm them.
Why do horses eat carrots?
No! Never give your horse a diet that only feeds carrots. This can cause colic, a condition that can be fatal to horses. If you feed your horse a hard feed (such as pony pellets, chaff, economix, etc...), try and cut down on the amount you feed him/her slowly. Immediate changes in diet can 'stun' the stomach and also cause colic. Example: You are feeding your horse three scoops chaff and two scoops pellets. The next day you will feed two and a half scoops of chaff and one and a half scoops of pellets. You will decrease the amount of feed you give your horse but you must also take into consideration how much your pony/horse is working. I would suggest speaking to your local vet or horse riding instructor (or even your local saddlery staff!) about the changes in your horses diet.
