Watermelon

[Jessey]

There was some sliced watermelon reduced in Tesco this morning so I picked it up for the ponies
Jess took one bite, spat it at me and glared, Hank had a nibble and wasn't entirely convinced but Dan took bite after bite and chased me when I went back to offer more to the others, I guess I know what to use next time I can't catch the little toe rag
Dan is the most reserved of my 3 but definitely the bravest with new foods, it was the same with bananas

I took a photo of mine spitting it out.

Ziggy adored bananas, peel and all. Mattie won't touch them.

Iol I was trying to remember whose horse didn't like it on here! Never tried ours with it. Bananas were something of a novelty at first !

Lol - Scully spat her swede at me when I tried her on it, but she adores bananas

I think I will have to try pumpkin again this year, Jess and Hanks reactions were as with watermelon and bananas, but maybe Dan will like it and show the other 2 it's ok

Mine loves bananas. Hates swede.

It actually took me ages to get Jess to eat apples/mints/treats as a baby, she readily accepted carrots so I assumed that was all the breeder had ever given her.

I might try ours with pumpkin this year, as I was thinking of making a display out of some smaller ones - and when they're over.............they'll need eating - or something doing with them. Did you boil and mash it for your gang or feed just as it is?

Zi doesn't like swede. The girls devour it, but he cocks a snook at it. Funny boy.

I just plonked it out, then relented and chopped it up a bit when they couldn't get themselves into it, I think you can boil it a bit too to soften it

I have now a vague recollection of trying ours with it, it might have been before Zi arrived so I'll try again this year
