Carrot tops - ok for horses ... ?

[HBII]

Bought some carrots from the farm shop with the green tops on, just wondering if they were edible for horses?

Thanks

Carrots with tops are one of Cairo's all time fav treats - he sucks them up like spaghetti and then munches the carrot. He always get a big bunch as part of his Christmas pressies.

I'm not sure. Something in the back of my brain makes me think that they are not so good for horses. Mmmmm... requires a little investigation I think!

Me too... I was always told to cut them off!

My dad grows his own carrots in his garden, my ponies get big bagfuls of "grandads carrots" complete with tops. I have to phone him to let him know they enjoyed them & said thankyou. Aahh!!
