this is a really weird question but we rescently found our pony goes absolutely nuts for satsuma! the site of one and she's there in a second. it just made us at our yard laugh so much! her neighbour, a big coloured warhorse-like horse loves superhot monster munches! and on her other side a thoroughbred mare eats lollpops!!

Bananas.

However he'll happily help himself to damsons, blackberries and sloes if he can get to them (obviously we try to keep him out of the field they're in).
 
Chex eats everything apart from oranges. A particular favourite is those chips you get from the burger van at shows, I have to keep a close eye on them or they're gone! He stole a burger and bun out my hand last time I wasn't paying attention

. He'll happily gobble up pot noodles, mashed potato, sausage rolls, chocolate etc. I learnt early on not to eat food around him as he'll generally nick it off me

Dates ( stoneless of course),oranges,popcorn,crisps,pot noddles,pumpkin,christmas cake,jackets,jumpers...basically everything that Ty can get hold of, Shoo however will try things only to spit them right back at me!!!!

My mare is actually pretty dang conservative about what she'll eat... but the gelding I sold two years ago would eat anything -- and particularly liked meat. We had water-dogs (neotonous salamanders) in the corral trough to eat mosquito larvae and he'd lay in wait for them to come up to breathe. Sluuuurrrp and all you would see is a slimy little tail hanging out of his mouth. Never saw anything like it before...
 
My big lad loved bananas. My Shire X mare would do anything for a tangerine and would turn herself inside out for one. Both liked pears and he would stand and browse damsons from the tree outside his stable, then spit out the stones!!
 
The old Appy loves ginger beer, cheese and onion chrisps and hob nob biscuits, her old friend used to pick blackberries off the bushes, with her lips rolled back to avoid the prickles!
 
2 of mine love to drink out of bottles. One especially will ignore a big bucket of water to have a big bottle of water mixed with some of that concentrate juice (orange or apple & blackcurrant being favouries) so we often take a bottle just for him to summer shows!

Mine also love coconut chocolate pattie things. The boy who loves juice above, has also seeked a ham sandwhich and devoured it. He'll pretty much eat anything, he even looks forward to having his wormer squirted in his mouth! Whereas one of my others doesnt really like carrots or mints etc. Some days he'll eat them, other days he wont but he'll always eat his beloved apples.
 
My mare is a gannet, will eat oranges,tomatoes, kiwi fruit, dried cat food etc and is an expert coke thief, owner of horse next door to her leaves bottle of coke in the corner between two stables and she nabs it. One of my two boys will try anything but lettuce and the other only eats 'horse' food is even wary of polos. My adventurous boy loves brambles but is only little so I pick them for him. He also loves Milky bars.
 
My mare also loves oranges. She also loves chicken flavour crisps, bread and lollipops. Once had a real scare when she pinched a lolly and took the stick with it. I was really panaking so put my hand out and out came the lollipop stick.
