Apples, Pears, bananas, carrots, watermelon, pitted dates, and most all other fruits.
Hay cubes, oats, bran (etc), and alfafa cubes (made for horses).
Sugar(s) and Molasses are favorites of the horses themselves, but give these to them in MODERATION. They can do a number on their teeth and should be fed lightly!
Horses can get tooth decay from too many sugary treats, so mints are not the best treat for them, although many people use those. Most horses really enjoy apples and carrots. These are much healthier treats for them.
Carrots, apples, sugar cubes, peppermints. Handfuls of hay works to. They also like alfalfa.
Carrots, Apples
No food is the "best". Different horses need different things. There are also a lot of healthy foods for horses, none of which are better than the other. To answer your question though, I'd say apples are pretty healthy. Though they are just treats, they have a lot of nutrients that help with the horse's bones, ligaments, and joints. Though apples are not the only thing you should feed to your horse, they are still pretty healthy treats to give them. Apples are more nutritious than carrots.
If each horse gets 7 treats and there are 6 horses to get the answer you just need to multiply 7 by 6 and the answer is 42
Yes, like all animals with teeth, horses can get cavities.When fed too many sugary treats, yes.
Horses favorite foods are usually carrots, apples, and oats. However these should mostly be given as treats or rewards.
Yes bread can cause colic, especially if it is fed in large quantities or if nothing else is being fed to the horse. Bread had hardly any nutritional value and it is difficult for the horses to digest. If you are looking to give your horse a treat, stick to apples, carrots, and treats marketed especially for horses.
It's possible.
Give them treats,or sign them up for daily grooming,
Yes, this is possible.
No....never give them too many. Sugar cubes are treats to horses like apples are. Usually you give them when they've done good or its their B-Day. Still its like humans and candy....its good but not the best if we have too much.
you can give them polos of any flavor or any other mint. sugar cubes, likit for horses e.c.t
Well fruit is fine for horses as long as you don't give them to much. Apples, oranges, ect are all good as just treats! Only give your horse a few pieces!!
First simply don't give treats by hand anymore, and don't allow anybody else to either, if you give a treat drop it in the horses feed pan and allow him to get it from there. Also don't carry treats on your person, no carrot sticks in the pockets ;) Eventually the horse will stop looking for them and come to realize that treats come from the food pan.
Horses mainly eat- grass,hay,treats, and of course the grain you give them in the winter time...
Sugary treats do not usually cause cavities in horses . Horses' teeth continue to grow all their life and need to be looked at once a year. Food trapped between the horse's teeth or growth at odd angles are more likely to cause decay. If you are worried about the amount of sweet treats you give, try some treats designed just for horses. A friend of mine has a pony that is not allowed sugary treats as he is prone to Laminitus so she buys sugar free sweets.
Too many sugary treats can cause cavities in horses. A few is OK though, and most treats designed for horses are made with minimal sugar to prevent cavities.
