Once a week Bear gets a Cranberry Blueberry Bran muffin from Tim Hortons ... it's his absolute favourite!!!! Does your horse enjoy anything unusual for a treat? Dorothy :-)
My horse seems to be very picky. My first horse loved peppermints so I thought nothing of it when I gave my new mare a hard peppermint candy. She took it and promptly spit it out and I mean spit...she didn't just drop it out of her mouth. Then she looked at me like "Mom...what are you thinking?!" and made this terrible face. She did the same thing when I tried to give her a ginger snap. I guess she's just an old fashioned carrots and apples girl.
ok i love my horse and i know that all his favorites are not good for him AT ALL... Dont judge me... LOL or him :P
Duncan's ALL time favorite treat is Nestea IceTea, He loves the Sweet tart candies, Licorish, gunny bears, Cinnamin Hearts Ice Caps from TIm Hortons and Slurpees. He Also eats bannanas whole.
The most unconventional treat my horse, DJ, ever enjoyed was a giant playing card. I was teaching him a card trick where he had to choose a card from a fan of 5 cards, and he selected one and - abracadabra - it disappeared! He'd swallowed it whole! Instantly! He seemed to think it was quite tasty! Needless to say, he didn't get to do that trick again.
Mine loves hot chocolate, peppermint tea, carrot or bran muffins, pizza crusts, pumpkin, orange popsicles and Dad's chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. He is a bit of an odd one and will actually eat pretty much anything except bananas, which he hates.
I need to try this tea thing, I think it's such a fun idea. I bet in the summer you could do iced tea instead of warm. I wonder if my mare would drink peppermint tea since she hates the candies so much. Hmmm...
He thought it was good. I gave him his own bag of skittles my vet said as long as it wasn't the sour ones (which he loved to death) then it was fine but no more caffine
My horse Sahara is really fussy! She won't eat any of those store bought treats. She goes all natural and only eats apples, carrots, grain and hay.
As for The other horses, they eat everything from chips and chocolate to drinking coffee (makes them hyper) and coke. One of our old mares used to enjoy a sip of red wine! Mind you she didn't get it very often at all. Special treat! Love horses, love life!
I'm not sure how much you can use your legs and seat since you stated you have MS, but using your leg aids with the rein aids will give you better control of your horse than using your reins alone. People with MS are all so individual and unique i...
I want to compete in ShowJumping. I want to breed my horse and ride her foal in the olympics. After that I would love to own a breeding farm and produce top quality showjumpers and eventers. Eric Lamaze, Ian Miller, Jill Henselwood and their horse...

From a New Zealand perspective the performance of the riders at the weekend's Adelaide International 4 star three-day-event provided some definite positives and also confirmed some expected weaknesses.
A clean jumping round sealed victory for Stuart Tinney and Vettori in the Australian International 3-Day Event, with Megan Jones filling both second and third placings.
