HORSE HEALTH
We love to treat our horses. Apples, carrots and sometimes even candy are the treats we choose to feed them to express our love or to reward good behavior.

Many people do not realize the damage that sugar does to a horse's body. Horse's digestive tracts are not designed for large amounts of sugar. It upsets the delicate balance of healthy bacteria creating an unhealthy situation. This in turn affects the horse and can be seen in the connection of the hoof wall to the inner workings of the hoof.

One of the most important
things you can do for your horse is limit his sugar intake. A few great replacement treats are hay stretcher, spoon size shredded wheat  (not the frosted ones) and if you are partial to mints use sugar free. If you are hooked on fruit, cut it up. A few small pieces will give him the warm fuzzies you want to convey without
 jeopardizing his health.
