Some horses with certain medical conditions cannot tolerate Apples at all. Others enjoy them daily. Below are some things to consider when thinking about feeding Apples to horses:
- Apples can give them a bad tummy ache and flatulence (gas). This is called Colic and is often fatal. 1 - 2 Apples per day is usually okay. Too much of anything is good for nothing.
- If horses eat too many Apples they can get diarrhea, which to some extent they can die, so just watch how many you feed them, 1 - 2 Apples per day is plenty.
- If too many Apples are eaten the horse may founder and has the possibility of dying in a severe case. If this happens call your vet immediately.
- The acid can also do damage to their teeth
