Apples??!

[silvershadow81]

Im sure ive been told this sometime before, but cant remember the answer.....

Are horses allowed to eat cooking apples??

Someone at work just offered me a bag of them for my girl, but im not too sure if they should have them... im thinking not, but can remember that they definatly cant have crab apples.....

Just thought id check with you great people!

Got some from my neighbour yesterday, think they are cookers, not sure, will have to taste one, horsey had 2 this morning and survived!

Yes, but not too many at once.

can cause colic, i give them very sparingly. they are very acidic, i think.

A much better idea for your cooking apples SS81 is to wrap them securely and post them to me immediately. Home made apple pie is one of the things that ought to be available on prescription from your GP when you are feeling low lol! x

Yes you can but only a little at a time. Or as above, send some to me as I have lots of blackberries and can make blackberry and apple crumble - yum yum yum

BOF and Theresa... this can be arranged... on condition you can send a sample of your cooking back for me to 'inspect'!! (you would need to send about 4!!?!!)

Im hungry now!! xxxx

Thanks people for letting me know, just thought id make sure... still paying off the last vet bill... dont want to add to it! xx

It's a deal SS81! Do I have to send to Theresa too? Will she send some crumble to me? Do we all have to send some to Admin?????
