My mare won't touch bananas. She doesn't even like banana flavoured treats which is saying something as usually she's a real greedy guts.

What's anyone else's horse not eat?
 
My girl won't eat anything that's not hay, cereal based feed or green grass. She's highly suspicious of anyone who tries to give her white minty things, clearly thinks it's some sort of drugging tactic

she's a piggin nightmare if she needs bute or anti biotics as nothing can mask the taste so she's eat it. I wish I had a none fussy horse, my old pony would eat anything you offered him, including small children

My boy doesn't like sugar free polos either but pretty much everything else is ok including his Christmas mince pie. If he had to give marks out of 10 he'd always put anything in a bowl ahead of anything growing! Haven't tried him on small children yet lol!
 
Ed won't eat garlic or anything with garlic in it, he doesn't like things that smell.
He would also attack me for Starburst Joosters but wouldn't eat the yellow ones!

Stylo will eat most horsey feeds going but try bringing human food or drink near him and he is not a happy bunny. You should have seen the look on his face when I offered him a poppadom

It took me 3 weeks to persuade my new horse to eat a slice of apple and even longer to progress to quartered apples in his feed. He will not touch carrots, polos or any sort of treat and he is still suspicious of apples in an empty bowl, they make too much noise apparently

He did steal my banana the other day though and appeared to quite enjoy it.
 
Have not found anything yet that he wont eat, he's munched on my plastic mini clipper guard, eaten my tinsel, crimbo cards, tried eating a wooden spoon that he had to bite on when being shod, oh and the farriars bum...he stops at nothing...he'll even chew on stones!

totally mad obviously takes after his mum

My horse wont eat polos either - seems not to know what to do with them - they get stuck between his lip and his front teeth and he rattles them around then spits them out! Very amusing!
He also doesnt like apples - if i put them in his feed he eats the feed around them, licks the bucket clean and leaves the apples in a nice pile in the bottom!
 
He'll eat lots (I have tried!!

) but he doesn't like the veg peelings from christmas, maybe he thinks the sprouts will make him fart even more?!

Won't eat shortbread, bananas, or chocolate brownies. But they love jammie dodgers, choc digestives, and my sisters pony' personal favourite, choclate topped flapjack - he just looooves the sugar rush!

In fact mine loves putting everything in his mouth, apart from his bit apparently!!!
