Yes they can. Alfalfa is high in protein and calcium and can cause mineral and vitamin imbalances if fed improperly. However that being said it is a good source of nutrition if fed correctly. You can add just a few pounds of it to a horses diet and see a marked improvement in most cases. You should always consult with your equine vet before changing a horses diet.
Horses have very sensitive digestive systems, so anything out of their usual diet should not be fed without consulting your vet first.
No, that are perfectly safe. They can actually be great treats for horses. Most horses love dates, the only way that they could be harmful is if the horse is fed large amounts at one time and not fed dates anymore, then it could get colic(twisted gut) because of the sudden change in their diet.

Absolutely not. A horse would most likely die from a diet of just carrots. Horses need forage (like grass or hay) daily to keep things flowing in their digestive tracks.

Bedouins traditionally fed their Arabian horses a diet primarily consisting of barley, wheat, and dates, which provided essential nutrition and energy. They also supplemented their horses' diet with foraged grasses and legumes, available in their desert environment. Access to water was crucial, and Bedouins often ensured their horses were well-hydrated, especially during long desert journeys. This diet helped maintain the horses' endurance and overall health, vital for their nomadic lifestyle.
