Bananas

[Suffolkangel]

I've got some old bananas, which i know the ponies will love. Was just wandering if its ok to give them whole, as in with the peel, or whether i have to remove the peel first?

I thought bananas were not good for horses?

But apparently you can.
Cool.

I'm guessing huge quantities isn't great like of anything....but always fed them never had an issue

Bananas are really good for horsesgood for the blood (not sure why though) and also for energy.

At the Athens Olympics they were a huge part of the feed supplied for horses. My horses unfortunately hate bananas but adore grapes, plums, lettuce, brocoli, cauliflower, nectarines and peaches. Plus the usuals

I must try the foals with banana they might like it
