Fresh mint - bit of a stupid question!

[AnnaJ]

Hi

I've got a mint plant growing in my garden. Can horses eat fresh mint? Obviosuly they are partial to the odd polo but just wondered if they are allowed fresh.

Yep, its really good. My YO owner buys it by the sack full,

Brilliant. I'll have to get some more plants in the garden then!!!

They can, or you can do as I do, which is to cut it down and hang it to dry then chuck it in the food processor and keep it iin a container handy for feeds.

Am going to do some nettles and have a nice tub of mint and nettle to give them in their grub.

If you want to store exces, you can place it on an oven tray and heat it in the oven until dry. Simply crush to a powder and store, great for winter use.

Also good fresh for keeping flies away.
