Does your horse like an unconventional treat?

[Dorothy McDonall]

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 :-)

Evidently Bear has very particular tastes. Today, his eighth birthday, he turned his nose up, and rolled his eyes, at his birthday cake -- a homemade carrot cake courtesy of his Aunt Jan!!! What gives? It has carrots in it for goodness sake!!!

Perhaps he's watching his calorie intake, preferring the natural goodness of the carrot right out of the carrot bag to that which has found its way into a concoction of flour, eggs, pineapple, sugar ... all the good (and naughty!) things that go into making a delicious carrot cake .. including the cream cheese icing. Oh well, that left more for the rest of us ... including Mac the quarter horse whose tastes buds are somewhat less fussy. He enjoyed it, to be sure ...

Firle loves french fries, she chews them kind of like how a dog eat peanut butter. It is very cute!

Sh, sometimes we drink beer together.. Oliver is only 4, so he's a minor. I hope I don't get in trouble, LOL.... they also like cherry coke.... but honestly, I mostly stick to carrots. I gotta branch out some new ideas, but I don't... we haven't had muffins yet.

My first horse LOVED the orange drink from McDonald's and french fries, cinnamon hearts were his favorite sweet treat!

The rest of my horses are pretty normal and stick to fruits and veggies like broccoli steams, apples, carrots, celery, bananas, pretty much anything steams or anything left over from making salads we save for the horses.

My horse ate some mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and red peppers in a salad the other day!

Buddy likes bananas, brocolli, caulifower, bagels, & pears. This is in addition to the usual apples, carrots, and granola bars. He's a fairly health-conscious horse.... ;)

my old riding instructors horse really loves to eat dad's oatmeal cookies (the kind that come in a plastic pakage)! also knew a horse that ate his bedding in his stall, even when he had food avalible! he was funny!

Blue loves oranges, raspberries, and pretty much anything that could be conceived as edible to a horse:-)
To get her used to taking medicine from a syringe, I would fill one with apple juice and give it to her every day until she got used to the idea - now she grabs it with her front teeth and sucks on it!
