Well where do i start? :rolleyes:

Bobby got hold of jelly babies, a tuna sandwidge, satsumas, my friends lunch and chocolate fingers.

Honey absolutly loves prawn cocktail crisps :p And she also dipped her nose into my veg curry last bonfire night :mad: :D

Mysti .. the only thing shes nicked is a twix :p
 
My pony used to nick bacon sarnies! Im not sure horses are supposed to eat bacon!! lol
And she loved mince pies!! No wonder she was so fat! :P
 
milly; adores anything that humans have got even pizza
prince; crisps and a packet of fags that he promptly spat out after he pinched them out of my pocket,
lightening; is like a pony dustbin he mugges, breaks in tack room, and you darent leave car door open,
lucky; shes a lover of crisps and chocolate
fiya; likes jelly babys but not bothered over chocolate
 
I had a lovely Welsh D who liked nothing better than a cup of tea and a piece of cake - chocolate cake was first choice. Always had to remind the farrier not to leave tea or cake where he could reach it as it would be gone!

Dear Toby would have sold his soul for a malted milk biscuit.
 
On his way in from the field,my greedy oportunist thief point to pointer used to have to walk through the farmyard. One day he spotted a bucket (thinks! Bucket,must be food. A quick snatch at the rope and it could be mine;).) Well the plan worked and he did indeed get a good mouthfull,OF FRESHLY DRAINED TRACTOR SUMP OIL.The look of horror on his face:eek:, Oil half way up his nose. It must have tasted disgusting. He just stomped straight into his stable in fury,daring anybody to laugh at him.
 
A pasty which he found in a van door pocket, whilst I was chatting to the van owner.

A bacon butty straight out of a judges hand, luckily after the class had ended!

Chips, whilst being photographed for the local paper.

Bananas and numerous citrus fruit all with skins on.

A whole pineapple, I just held the stalk.

Whisky.

Give him a chance and he'll try most things, but does turn his nose up at onions and peppers.
 
My retired show pony LOVESSSS Bacon sarnies 'without Tomato sauce' and Salt and vinegar Crisps, walkers only apparently... hes also perfected the art of drinking fanta from a can! Whether or not hes meant to have them! If you cant enjoy life in your old age when can you, He's put up with standing in classes of 40+ competitors for hours on end, has had his hair pulled left right and centre to look 'pretty',has had me swinging around his head with scissors and a razor to remove all those darn whiskers from his nose, mouth and around his eyes and finally stood still whilst being lathered in baby oil and make up for the past 18 years!

If he wants to eat potatoes and pork with a can of fanta on hand he is more than welcome too!! :rolleyes:
 
Old pony Merlin was a massive bacon sandwich fan! Molly goes a bit funny if she sees a biscuit, bread, bun, flapjack etc. BUT if she sees/smells a scone she would quite happily chew off her right leg so she has something to beat you with until you give it too her! She gets all shakey. Lenny (I discovered yesterday) loves chocolate digestives, or alternatively a kitkat will do. Chips are also graciously accepted. ;)

Edit to say GUINESS!! They all love it, Tinkerbell likes nutella and wispa bars. Merlin once climbed onto the back seat of the car investigating for treats and Worm took a calipo straight out of my hand once, then did a funny 'brain freeze' face. :D

It's more what my horse doesn't eat! She looks as if I am poisioning her I even dare to try and give her an apple or carrots!

If it is brown and looks horrible she'll eat it! (horse treats as long as they are a specific brand and brown are ok too!)
 
My mare ate a balloon ( i found it in her poo whilst mucking her out) and she was also seen chasing a pony round their field with a plastic bag, when YO went to get it off her she sucked it up and ate it!!!::eek:

She also liked any chocolate, tea with 1 sugar and diet coke!!
 
Not stolen but Cappy loves Kendal mint cake, he has a tiny piece after his bucket, will stomp and mug you until he gets it then goes over to his haylage. Also loves ginger nuts and marmite! However he hates parsnips and has been known to throw them at people if they try to give them to him.

Fany loves anything, never found anything she won't eat.

FDC
 
Frankie will try anything but things he has stolen and eaten include ham sarnies, thai prawn crackers, pot noodles, pound coins and a nokia n86. Luckily the phone was retrieved before he'd managed more than an initial crunch, needed a new screen though.
 
My old girl hoovered up a sponge once!! I completely freaked out and tried to grab it out of her mouth but it was gone too quickly! I did have the 'omg what if she colics' panic but she was totally fine.

First pony used to drink diet coke out of a can (she preferred diet to normal) :)

All the boys have been equine dustbins and would literally eat anything. My sister still gives her boy his weekend mars bar every week :)
 
I give Oscy a little bit of everything really. He's a greedy sod and will eat anything. He even had a whole bite of a nectarine last week, but then decided he didn't like that (first thing i've found) he loves bread, especially with treacle (bonfire + xmas treat), crisps, including hoola hoops, fizzy drinks, pears, oranges ec.

In fact the nectarine is the only thing he's ever turned his nose up at. He only gets a little bit of anything though as i do worry about him getting ill.
 
When it's cold, Harry quite likes to share a cup of coffee with me.

Fol absolutely loves iced Chelsea bun and has been known to press her nose against the car window until my OH finally winds the window down and feeds her some.
 
Not actually food, but my horse did once eat a couple of cotton balls soaked in Savlon (I was bathing a bad fly bite she had at the time.) She decided she liked the taste of them! Thankfully no adverse effects came of this!
 
I came home from the pub one night drunk and decided to give Imperial a cuddle and he nabbed my donner kebab! The stables are all open to the field and he legged it with it before I could get it back :( I didn't fancy chasing him around the field in the dark, in high heels so he ate sheep and chilli sauce!
 
Bonnie likes bananas, and will take bites out of one if you hold it out to her!

The owners daughter's horse likes cake (specially ones that I make :mad::D)

Most of the horses have a penchant for chips too!
 
Anything that's in my hand if I get too close lol!

He loves bananas, chocolate biscuits, crisps, coffee, juice ... he once stole a lollipop, I was left holding a stick!
