Quince

[Bess]

I have a quince bush in the garden which has quite a lot of fruit on it and wondered if anyone feeds them to horses. I know that they are in the apple family but we have to cook them to make them edible. Does anyone feed their horses quinces?

I don't really know about feeding them to horses, but would think they are unsuitable to feed raw.
If you've got a glut, I would try feeding them cooked, i don't think they would do any harm!

hi i feed them to my ponies but only as scraps with apple peelings ect and its not done them any harm the answer is moderation like apples so long as you don't give them bucket fulls at a time then they should be ok.
your horse may not even like them
