Silly question about carrots

[Porkie]

How do you feed??

Whole, long and thing or short and fat ??

Told you it was a silly question!!!

But everyone on my yard seems to feed them differently - is there a 'correct' way??

 

[Tinkerbee]

Long and thin.

I was always taught that short and fat is the perfect way to cause a horse to choke. No idea how correct that is.

 

[Daisy11]

short and fat can deffently make a horse choke along with whole carrots so defently feed long and thin

 

[Chico Mio]

On a stick?

Long and thin.

 

[ofcourseyoucan]

just as they come!! unless feeling mean and cut them length ways to make them go twice as far!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Long and thin

- was always told about the choke thing!

 

[spookypony]

Preferably in large quantities! Whole carrots are best for contemplative chewing, and long-and-thin is good for hoovering up quickly for a sugar rush. I don't mind short-and-fat either, but got told it's not good for me...

in whatever shape, keep 'em coming!!

As long as they are not narrow/thin rounds/slices, any way will do.

 

[somethingorother]

long and thin or whole. when i was little a riding school pony died of choke from a kid feeding carrots chopped in little pieces

 

[Enfys]

Whole, sliced, or, don't laugh, grated for fussy feeders.

Mind, I don't feed them at all now, none of my horses will touch them and I was put off by having a horse that was violently allergic to them.

 

[beckieswann]

I can't feed my horse carrots as the sugar in them make him go crazy!! lol. But if I did it would be short and fat!

i feed my lot carrots most days and one is only 32in minnie shettie and he does not have a problem , but a friend of mine as a very greedy horse and she slices hers down the middle incase she swallows them before they have been chewed up enough.

 

[kellyeaton]

as they come out of the bag! mine love having a big fat dirty carrot to chew on!

 

[JosieSmith]

Definitely whole. I too was always told not to cut into small round bits as they can cause choke. I just chuck a load into her feed (or sometimes her mouth)

 

[Katie__Connie]

As they are! My pony eats them all in one the greedy boy!!

Enfys, lol at the grated!! hahahaha

 

[FanyDuChamp]

As they come, never in rounds.
