What foods can horses not eat?

Answer 1

Answer 1:

. Horses usually eat hay but they like sugar cubes best ;)

Answer 2:

. A horses diet consists of three feeds:

Bulk Feed/Long Feed

Straights

Treats

Bulk Feed

Most of this supplementary food comes from what is known as long or feed. Long feed consists of fibre and roughage and is vital for the good digestive function of your horse. Grass is a source of fibre but when it is not available, such as in the winter months, your horse will need plenty of hay to get the food groups he/she needs to keep functioning correctly. Bulk Feed or Long Feed is the name given to the food that fills up most of your horse's diet, such as hay and grass. If your horses bulk feed is sugar cubes, you might want to rethink your pet's diet plan! Grazing is an intake of feed known as bulk feed. Horses are grazers by nature. Rather than eating a lot of food in one sitting- they will graze steadily throughout the day. Their main type of food as a result of this is grass. Ideally, a horse needs to consume about 2.0 to 2.5 percent of their body weight in grass. If possible, he/she needs to graze in an area where there is newly grown grass and older, longer grass. Herbs and weeds are also useful if they are in abundance too. But by grazing alone, your horse will not be very healthy, because they need other nutrients too.

Straights

Another type of horse feed is known as straights. Straights make up a small but important part of your horse's diet. Straights are foods such as cereal and grains which give the horse energy and nutrients. But beware; straights can cause a horse to become overweight. Generally speaking, the more hard work a horse does or the more competitions he is taking part in, the more straights he will need. But ponies and light workers need far fewer straights. If you feed them the same as a bigger, harder working horse, they will become overweight, you will know this when you cannot feel their shoulders and ribs and you find thick pads of fat around joints.

Treats

Now we can introduce things like sugar cubes. horses love treats every so often, it keeps their brain falling for you, 'the treat bringer' You can feed horses carrots, apples turnips and a lot of other vegetables. They also love a good polo once or twice a day. Horse can eat bread, but not too much as it can give them colic and other things. Colic is an illness that causes the muscles to inflame and they get spasms and other thinks like that. Other strong mints like polos can be a tasty treat too.
