Caution Horse
Are there any nuts harmful to horses?
Sometimes when I spend a long day at the barn, I share my edible goodies with my horse. I was wondering, are they any nuts that are harmful (almonds, pecans, pine nuts, etc)?
I have a big bag of home-made, unsalted trail mix that I was going to take to the barn, but want to check to make sure.
The mix contains dried mangoes, various nuts, banana chips and dried cranberries.
She’s a picky treat eater, so who knows if she’ll even try it. But I’d rather err on the side of caution.
Horses love to eat, and given the opportunity, will eat themselves sick. If you feed the horses treats, please limit one treat per horse (example, one apple or one banana per horse).
Please slice large fruit, such as apples and oranges. Slices should be 1/2 inch or smaller. Clean knives and return to drawer when finished.
Do not ever feed a horse food that is slimy or moldy! Mold is toxic to horses. If you find moldy food, throw it in a receptacle not accessible to horses. If there is a large amount of spoiled food to be disposed of, please bury it in the large manure pile. It is best to wash fruit, which has been in close proximity to a moldy item, as mold spores spread quickly.
If you or the horse drops the treat or a piece of it on the ground, pick it up and rinse it off or throw it away. Horses can develop colic from sand which adheres to the food.
Please use only treats located in the refrigerator. Sometimes boxes of food are stored nearby, but these have not been inspected, and may contain items harmful to horses. Be sure to remove all stickers from fruit. Do not feed the horse banana peels or the tops (greenery) from carrots.
If you are feeding the horses “salad” (large amounts of fruit and vegetables cut up and placed out in the fields for all the horses to enjoy), please be sure to place it ON HAY. Do not place the food on dirt or manure, as it can become contaminated, causing the horse to colic.
Hold the treat out to the horse in the palm of your hand. Make sure your fingers are totally extended, as far as you possibly can. Curled fingers can easily find their way into a horse’s mouth, and when he chews, it hurts!
Under no circumstances are the horses to be fed sugar cubes, peppermints, or any similar treats. These are not “average” horses; many have digestive problems or ailments which can be aggravated by the ingestion of these items.
