Some horses with certain medical conditions cannot tolerate apples at all. Others enjoy them daily. Below are some things to consider when thinking about feeding apples to horses:
- Apples can give them a bad tummy ache and flatulence (gas). This is called Colic and is often fatal. 1 - 2 apples per day is usually okay. Too much of anything is good for nothing.
- If horses eat too many apples they can get diarrhea, which to some extent they can die, so just watch how many you feed them, 1 - 2 apples per day is plenty.
- If too many apples are eaten the horse may founder and has the possibility of dying in a severe case. If this happens call your vet immediately.
- The acid can also do damage to their teeth

What if your horses have been eating crab apples is this ok?
While a crab apple may not hurt your horse, too many crab apples can cause a horse to colic and/or founder. These are serious health problems, colic being the number one reason for emergency veterinary visits and one of the leading causes of equine death in the US. If your horse is pastured with a crab apple tree, the best thing to do if the horse can't be removed from the area is to pick all the apples so the horse no longer has access to them.
Will too many apples give a horse colic?
Most definately. If there is an apple tree that your horse can get to it is probably wise to put him somewhere else. Too much of anything can make a horse sick and you can't trust him to eat only 2 or 3 at a time. Hoses will 'pig out', never stopping until they almost drop.
