Why do horses eat carrots?

Answer 1

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.
