One or two every so often won't typically hurt them. However if the horse is obese/fat, insulin resistant, has Cushing's/PPID or any other health condition, it would be best to avoid sugar cubes and candy. If you'd like to feed your horse a sweet treat but are weary of sugary treats a good option is citrus fruits or melons such as watermelon. Always remove the pit or seeds from any fruit, except for watermelon seeds as these actually provide water. As always if in doubt contact a equine veterinarian or equine nutritionist for dietary help.
