How much would that cost!! Especially with raw nuts, trail mix etc. I'm sure mine would wolf it down but I'd need to double my shopping bill.
Actually, none of mine ate the brocolli and cabbage that my daugter hid in the feeds as a surprise treat a few weeks ago when we ran out of carrots. It was left in disgusted little heaps where it had been tasted and spat out. Daughter was really disappointed!

That would cost a bomb!!! I think we'll stick to our Healthy Hooves and the odd carrot!!

But don't you know our horses are missing out on vital things from their natural diet like bananas, yams and coconuts (they climb the trees to get them and smash them with their hooves)? And what do they mean WITHOUT chocolate?

He he :d the thought of my chunky boy climbing a tree to pick the tropical fruit was too much for me! Spat my tea everywhere :d

and don't forget the lovely oranges that grow in the hedge by the gate that they pick at while waiting for their coconuts to fall to the ground and break.

TO BE FED ONCE DAILY FOR THE AVERAGE SIZED HORSE
1 apple
1 orange
1 banana
3-4 carrots
1-2 yams (or sweet potatoes)
Greens: one or a combination of spring mix, swiss chard, spinach, kale, green leafy lettuces, dandelion leaves or other green leafy veggies. Give a couple of generous handfuls or more.
Sprouts -- a handful of any kind of sprouts. Can be grown easily right under your kitchen sink!
1/4 cup of raw pumpkin seed
1/4 cup of Black Oil Sunflower Seed.
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1 oz. dried granulated Kelp
1 cup of dried, unsweetened coconut flakes or chips
tablespoon of Celtic Sea Salt
1/4 cup of Olive or Safflower Oil that is infused with a large glove of garlic and sprig of herb that is pertinent to the individual horse.
Dash of Organic Cider Vinegar
Just another confirmation of my theory that the Yanks are nuts!
ETA: although to be fair the BOSS are supposed to be good and I have fed coconut to horses who loved it (Coolstance Copra).
