chocolate

[lalala]

Can you give your horse chocolate as an occasional treat?

or will this kill the horse?

 

[Digger123]

What !! Sorry the only chocolate about goes to me the ned does not get a look in. I will kill for chocolate ...............

 

[Cliqmo]

Ha ha NEVER been an issue for me- he's lucky if he gets to share my polos- he is NOT sharing my chocolate!!

Chocolate contains a banned substance in competition horses, so should not be fed if a chance of testing taking place.

Merlin likes the odd bite off of my mars bar and he is still here to tell the tale

Why would you waste chocolate on your horse?! She can have an apple and lump it !

My cob pinched a kitkat of my mum when she wasnt looking ! he quite liked it!

Lady I used to ride with used to lean forward in the saddle in canter and feed WHOLE mars Bars to her ned, a strapping big gipsy cob that she worshipped. Didn't do him any harm. An occasional nibble probably won't hurt, but I wouldn't include it my ned's diet as it were. Mine, yes...ned's NO.

His lordship HAS to have his his share of anything I am eating

, he loves buttery toasted tea cakes we get at the tea rooms when I ride him to Darley Park, he also luuuurrrrrrrvvvvvvvssss chocolate, I only let him a small amount ie 2 fingers of a kitkat or couple sqaures of Cadbury snack, he does rather have a whole tea cake though as he eats faster than me when sharing

, I have to buy 2 to actually get some for myself
