Thinking about trying my ponies on Banana ice lollies ;)

I had a friend who's pony loved mars bars, & I used to occasionally give mine ice cream.
So what strange things have you fed your horse, & did they like them?
 
Kitty just loves custard creams...are farrier is going to have to eat the ones she gets with her cup of tea much quicker next time :rolleyes::D:D
...i share my ice cream withher at competitions and watch out if your walking past with a cereal bar..in fact watch out if you are walking past with anything edible in a packet that rustles:D:D:D
 
My mare will steal anything! Her favourite things to nick is fruit cake. Being the soft touch that I am, at Christmas she gets a small slice all to herself now :P She also likes trying to drink tea and the other week she drank wine out of a plastic cup! Just to add, she never gets human stuff often, I've just had her a long time now and the weird things she has stolen has mounted up into quite a big list :P
 
Oakley likes a Twister ice lolly if its really hot, he does like most things. My daughter gave him some blue powerade last summer, he liked it but it made his lips blue
 
Pombear crisps and breakfast biscuits. Took the last one with me on a show, at 12 still had not had my breakfast as madam enjoyed them to much ;)
 
my boy is fussy and only eats traditional horse treats: pony nuts, polos, carrots and apples (but not granny smith green ones!)
my girl will try eating anything, she eats crisps, doritos, toast, snack bars, chocolate- I don't purposely give her anything, but if i'm eating near her she gives me that look of 'please, i'm starving, can I have bit?!'
 
My boy goes nuts for a mandarin orange or tangerine! He gets one as a special treat when he's been extra good (which is most of the time!).
 
My first pony was very apt at stealing the filling of sandwiches :rolleyes:

The comment on sausage rolls, the amount of meat in them I think a horse would struggle more digesting an earth worm.

Speaking of worms, I have seen Buddy digging for them and eating them *vom!!* He's fine, but I always check him for worm breath before giving him a snog ;) :D

He also likes only the red fruit pastels and strawberry tick taks. He will drink coke, but only diet and out of a can. He has a figure to uphold :cool:
 
I hardly think a bite of a sausage roll is going to upset her digestive system!! Bit different if I was feeding her a sausage casserole daily! Some people need to lighten up!!
 
My old mare loves hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows......any one walking past her with that gets mugged!:D

My sisters old pony used to love sausage and egg muffin and sugar donut from maccy d and jam sandwiches and skips:o
 
Henry loved coke, sour cream and chive Pringles, and alcoholic punch before going out hunting.

He didnt like egg mayo sandwiches, but in all fairness he tried them before he spat them out
 
Me and Darcy love fizzy haribo (the cherries are best ),skittles,liquorice alsorts,fruit gums and Devon toffee stick to teeth but basically if its sweet we share it.:)
 
My girl seems rather partial to sandwiches. She had half of my husband's egg mayo roll today before he realised. :)
She also quite likes crisps and ginger beer.
