October's-Dish

Apples, Carrots, Graham Crackers & Marshmallows...OH MY! Yes....your horse can eat all that...but hold the chocolate!
Keep the candy bars for yourself, and enjoy!

Why, oh why does it have to be that way? 

As most people know, you should always avoid giving chocolate to your dogs. But did you know that your horses are also sensitive to the toxic chemical found in chocolate called theobromine?

You should also keep your horse away from milk products —like:  ice cream, cheese, and even yogurt.

I know, right?  Yikes! Of course, if you're anything like us, you’ve perhaps heard that yogurt is good for your horse because it’s a probiotic. But it does contain lactose and grown horses are lactose intolerant.
In turn, it can cause your horse to get diarrhea! And that can cause other serious complications, that can lead to severe dehydration and even death.

Take heart, and read up on this great article from: The Saddlebox, found here: https://www.saddlebox.net/a-list-of-foods-that-horses-can-and-should-not-eat/
And yes, even marshmallows made the list!
Whoop! What fun it is to eat and share treats with your horse this fall!
I truly believe, that every horse girl or guy needs to stay on their hooves, if they're going to stay healthy all year round!
