No. As a horsey person who likes throwing money around I go to my local organic farm and handpick carrots every morning.
In answer to your question have you got a link to the advert? seems quite interesting

Some of the irch full liveries at my yard do! Why they can't just feed normal carrots which I'm sure must be much cheaper I don't know. Some of them also buy those special cereal bars for horses.

First time I've seen it, but it was advertised in the new streamlined 2010 BHS Handbook (which I had to rescue from the recycling bin cos I thought it was junk mail

What a crazy idea! Who first hought 'chopping this carrot is taking ages, instead why dont I make dried carrot flakes that you can re-hydrate, that sounds like a much better plan'!?

I used to feed them to a very old pony at my last job. She only had 6 teeth and none of them met. I soaked them for ages in lots of water so they where very soft and she could just swollow them. It was the only way she could have carrots unless i stood there for ages cutting them up into tiny pieces.

They've been out for years, and they do freeze dried apple pieces too. I am surprised at how many people actually use them. Mine wouldn't touch reconstitued carrots anyhow, and so much cheaper to buy a net bag.

What's wrong with chucking a handful of carrots (or apples come to think of it) in a blender and mixing that in with water if that's what it takes to get a horse to drink?
I wouldn't even buy dehydrated carrots for US! Ugh.
Ah well, if I thought I could sell them myself, then sell them I would, who cares who buys them or what they do with them if it brings the pennies in? I wouldn't.

The ad is amusing; "As a busy horse owner, you really haven't got time to waste chopping apples or waiting around to make up your feeds"... and yet you can wait 20 mins for the apple / carrot pieces to hydrate??

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was always told that you should only feed carrots whole to avoid choking - surely for the busy horse owner its much quicker to chuck um in as they come out of the bag ?
Although I guess on the plus side they would not freeze in this weather !

Errr....large sack of oddly-deformed non-EU carrots from farm shop for a quid.
