ginger biscuits

Ted loves them and they are supposed to be good for his chestnut colour! anybody elses horses love these?

Isn't it supposed to be a gypsy trick to get horses to do things they might prefer not to, like load into a trailer, by feeding them ginger biscuits.

I tried my boy with them recently, with absolutely no success at all!

I ended up eating them.

It's an all-time favourite of donkeys

My girlie loves them, she practically drools when you go anywhere near her with ginger biccies. Of the 14 horses on the yard there are only 2 who don't like a ginger biscuit... and one of those is also funny about polo's too...

Captain can smell a packet of ginger biscuits at the bottom of his locked tack box, and will pester til he gets them!

Our two love them. I tried a variation this week - Fox's ginger creams - I think, if at all possible, they love these even more!

My Mum's old pony, Benji, was given to us at 13 with bad laminitis. It took nearly two years to get shoes back on him and during that time, he was allowed to wander around the school and onto the yard. One day, we found him in the tack room, helping himself to an open tin of ginger biscuits...

After that, they were his special 'go mad for' treats and in later years, it was just like posting letters into a very greedy mail box.

Can't have done him any harm - he made it to 29 and tackled every hack with the same joy as the day before and never had another day's lameness. The happiest pony I ever owned.

My cob Toby would have sold his soul for a malted milk biscuit.

Those little gingerbread men you get in packs of 25 or 30 from Asda in-store bakeries are even better!!

No dont feed ginger biscuits to horses feed them to me prefereably with a very large hot cup of Tea.

My old CB liked Orange Fanta fed from the hand of course!!

 

[jessicabeau1]

is it true that they are good for keeping chestnut colour? and are they good for horses?

Hmmm I wonder if this would distract my pony enough with the farrier, he'd been doing so well but unfortunately have had to change farriers and he was awful last time. Def going to try anyway!

pony nuts in your pockets is a good one to distract from farrier.

 

[Supertrooper]

Tried that, he gets bored of them. A mix of both would be good xx

Golly this is an Antique thread I used to be young and happy when this started.

 

[Pinkvboots]

We used to use tic tacs the mint ones you could have a little selection going on

 

[Regandal]

I just read some article that was extolling the use of ginger for ulcers/tummy probs in horses. Wonder if that's why horses and donks love ginger.

Never tried Ginger bics on the pony (but will do now ... Except I have to be careful with his sugar intake!) ... But my OH loves them. Wondering if there's a connection ..... ������ (... These are laughter emojis, if they don't show up properly!!!!)
