Am I right in thinking carrots aren't good for horses? Or have I made it up??
I don't allow my horses to have many carrots, I may buy a small bag from a supermarket a couple of times a year, (mainly xmas!) but on the whole I don't allow it because Ive always thought they have too much sugar/aren't so healthy.
I know a lot of people that buy the big sacks and never run out of carrots, that they feed every single day, and Im wondering whether they aren't so bad to feed.
Yesterday I bought a big sack of carrots (first time in a few years) as a treat, I would think most of these will end up on the muck heap, but so be it
On a side note, my horses are far too smart!!! Yesterday morning they came in, Id left a pile of a few carrots in each stable, they came in and ate them. I then had to wait while they finished them before I could pick feet out and do stable bandages. So this morning I thought Id bring them in, do their feet and bandages and THEN let them have some carrots. They walked straight to where I had left them yesterday and gave me a dirty look for not leaving any there! Lol
