Why do horses eat carrots?

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.

Your refrigerator thermostat is set too low. Put a thermometer in your refrigerator and check that the thermostat is working.

That's the reason it's at the lowest point in your refrigerator. Another reason might be that you don't have enough stuff in the fridge. It is a fact that the unit will work more efficiently if it has more in it. Use water as a space filler.
