I was just looking at the list of NOT to feed, my horse has ulcers and I found a very good diet for soothing the stomach. It is grain free and one of the ingredients is dried cabbage, cabbage is very high in the amino acid L-glutimine and that is also added to Omeperozole. I actually purchased a dehydrator and make my own dried cabbage, he gets about a tbsp/per day. I see no ill effects.
Donna Lee, is it because cabbage causes "gas" the reason why "not" to feed to horses. I know rabbits, specially the young will blot(sp??) and die. Dried at least will not cause gas to built up. That is good to know.
My friend has a horse named Gracie and she really likes goldfish. But the weird thing is she doesn't even look at her salt lick, but when other horses may be put in that stall they always seem to enjoy it.
Watermelon!!!! We have even rode into an wild watermelon patch and Dreamer stomped on a Big one then started eating it. Watermelon is great for trail rides when there is little or no water on the ride.
my old mule LOVED almonds. he'd eat the shell & all but I worried about sharp edges so bought him the shelled ones. walnuts were enjoyed, too...but almonds were his favorite over everything else, evem Mrs. Pastures horse cookies.
I used to have a mare who loved granola bars. Cinnamon granola bars were her favorite. She always knew when I had a different flavor. Of my current horses, my gelding loves apples, carrots, pretty much everything sweet and my mare loves carrots but will spit out apples. Doesn't matter what type of apple. She's just not into them.
