my horse loves lollies and coka cola, i only let him eat them once in a while as a treat at a show or something.. i was just wondering what human food you guys give your horses as a treat? and if there is anything you should always stay clear of!

Ralph is partial to Mint Aroes......he gets one a week as a treat after a lesson

He also likes Ginger nut biscuits

Ellie loves chocolate digestive biscuits, as well as salt and vinegar crisps. Mind you, she will always beg for a bit of whatever I have to eat - even if she then spits it out!

My old New Forest pony used to love a cheeseburger, but would never touch it if there was any ketchup on it. It used to be her treat after a class. And my little grey show pony drank Coke from a can!

Muffins, various fruits and vegetables, oat cakes, sandwiches, cake and donuts.

Only as an experiment to see what he liked.
 
Bananas! Toffee is partial to Scotch eggs and sausage rolls at meets, she won't touch grapes (which are bad for horses, so she must know), but she loves sandwiches, Marmite and Doritos.

We do not encourage her carniverous leanings...

Every Christmas, without fail, my neds get a mince pie. I read that at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, all donkeys kneel down. Doesn't work if you peek. Well, horses are almost donkeys (some more than others lol!) so I like the thought of our neds sharing the spirit of Christmas with us so they have a mince pie each on Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day. I was away for Christmas last year and fellow liveries almost rang ILPH when they saw I had left feeds with a mince pie in!
 
Apparently Beau is partial to Minestrone Cup a soup???? Not tried it yet and need more clarification from St Bernard regarding this!!!

Odie loves Walkers Sun bites and coke!!!

Dont dare feed the ginger thing anything other than his strict diet for fear of him getting an upset stomach!!

An old horse I had used to lvoe Crunchie Bars, even rattling the packet would get him running over to the gate!!!

Before we got our old loan pony his old owner apparently fed him burgers.She was apparently a bit of a numpty though.

Another old friend let hers have half her pot noodle once.

As mentioned in previous post, the usually fussy Czar likes spicey crisps

Ive fed them bits of chocolate before and they've all seemed to like it. And ANY biscuits! One of them used to love any fruity fizzy drinks.
 
Sandwich crusts (we make a good team, I sort out the inner bits and he has the outer bits!)
Chocolate digestive biscuits (again good team, I eat the chocolate off the top and he finishes off the biscuit! ;0))
Banana skins (again team work!)

I once had a 13hh Welsh B who loved pink fondant fancies!

My mare loves cola, limonade, irn bru etc, and my old pony used to love hot chocolate from a cup. If you put it in a bowl he wouldn't touch it lol.

McVities ginger nuts are one of the few things that Jim will mug me for, only gently but none the less it is mugging & very out of character. He definately prefers the McVities ones, any others are ok but they don't get the same reaction.
