No Cooking Horse Treat Recipe• Pitted Dates • Raisins • Sugar cubes • Hay cubes • Apple pieces • Carrot pieces • Sunflower seeds (with or without shells) • Peppermints You'll find horses have different tastes too. Some may love peppermints or sugar cubes, some prefer carrots or hay cubes. While some sources say that apples and carrots are best cut into pieces; Dr.Gilbert Halle is adamant about not cutting up apples and carrots. He says that “A carrot should be served whole and should not be smaller than your thumb”. I have stopped cutting up my apples and carrots since the Doctor’s recommendation! Only feed a very small amount of any hard foods like mints. When preparing a horse treat recipe that is new, take time to introduce it to your horse in small doses.
