Equine Recline - Safe and Unsafe Fruits and Vegetables for Horses

Ever wandered around the produce aisles at the grocery store wondering what else you could feed
your horse as a treat instead of just carrots and apples? Well I have plenty of times. Finally I went
on a hunt to find a list of safe fruits and vegetables and unsafe ones too. So here are the fruits of
my labor. Please remember to remove pits from fruits such as peaches and cherries as they are
poisonous. And feed all foods in moderation, whether you have fed them to your horse before or
not. It is better to feed them a very small portion than a large one.
