Its been suggested that I use EWE nuts for my horse and pony.Anyone here used them in place of pony cubes?? Ive been told they are basically the same but cheaper.
You must be very careful as there may be some additives in ewe nuts that would be toxic to horses. Find out what is in them first and ask your vet if they are safe to feed.
There will be more copper in sheep feed than horses need. Sheep should not eat horse feed, as it will be deficient in copper for them. If you want to feed something which is better for your horse and possibly cheaper, try grassnuts.
Why would anybody want to feed sheep feed to a horse? if people can't afford to buy proper feed or don't want to pay for it simple sell the horse. End off
It's a bit different, useing human shampoo, nappy cream etc to feed which is not at all balanced for the horses system. Vit/min supple is important and should be as well balanced as we can do, sheep have totally different needs to a horse and there for needs different balanced feeds. There's so far you can go with useing products non horsey but don't believe feed should be messed with.

Oh and don't use aqueous cream either ... If you saw the studies on what it does to human skin you'd understand why .... IT IS A SOAP SUBSTITUTE NOT A MOISTURISER
