Can horses eat cooking apples?

[grandmaweloveyou]

My Nan has given me a mixed bag of eaters and cookers from her orchard....

I've got an old bramley apple tree in my garden, which grows quite sweet cookers, and I give mine 3/4 a day, which they love.

But they are still quite sharp tasting so they end up with a load of saliva hanging down from their lips after eating them - not an attractive look!

Just fine. I love sharp apples, and so does the Spooky Pony, so sometimes he has to share his with me.

there are cooker trees in one of our fields, the mares eats a lot of them between them and seem to have no ill effects

An old thread, but worth a reply... My pony does the same when she gets apples from my mum's tree in the back garden.

So they can eat them! Great news. I have a glut of apples, & always thought the bobbos would not like them, or they'd not be appropriate! I shall take a couple for Dave tomorrow & see what he thinks!
