Digestive biccies?

[Wilowfarmjumper]

Lol the forum needs something a bit light-hearted haha anyway.. this may seem a bit strange but my horse LOVES digestive biscuits, as does his stable mate..

But i so often get "oh why do you feed him digestive biscuit" comments when i mention it!

Is feeding a horse digestive biscuits sound strange to you!? I always thought it was the norm..

my pony, and all the other horses at the yard ADORE digestives, but hobnobs are there fave!

Red'll eat anything, but he's not having my hobnobs, they're mine

I share custard creams with merlyn we don't do hobnobs, sorry or anything "low fat" or "low salt" or "oatmeal based"

My first pony was very partial to fig rolls - and I'm sure digestives are right up most horses' streets too! They're mostly grain and sugar - so YUMMY!

Don't find anything strange about it at all! Most horse "treats" you buy in a packet are basically grain and sugar - there may be a bit more sugar in digestives - but what the hell, you're hardly feeding bucketfulls of them!

Im not even going to tell you what my Arab used to LOVE to drink, but it came in a bottle and was RED and tasted of cherries and had 'ade' on the end I used to have to fight him off

I'm put off feeding digestive biscuits after one horse at our yard showered her owner with half chewed crumbs of one when she decided she didn't actually like it!

my old shettie would eat anything, but his fave thing in the would was sherbet strawberies he hardly ever got em at all though, so he settled for for dip dabs lol

Snap! BB lurves her cuppa!

When I do the last yard check at night, they all get either a biscuit, or bit of bread, but BB won't eat bread, unless it's a MARMITE SANDWICH!

My mum used to make a washing up bowl full of tea for my old stallion, there was a whole teapot full, Made specially for him no dreggs! about a pint of milk, no sugar!

he used to drain it in a onner! She used to test it on her wrist like a babies's bottle. He like a bucket of milk too, and I mean a whole black bucket of cow's milk....never did have a big enough cookie to go with it.
