TOABH: Fave
What is your horse’s absolute favorite thing? Outside of riding! Are there treats that instantly convert your pony into an addict or liniments that leave him yawning and chewing? What does your horse just love to have?
The answer for all three is really food. All the foods. Dijon will eat pretty much anything. I’ve given him all sorts of weird people food and he eats it all. Shasta is much more discriminating, but loves carrots and peppermints. Nilla is fast following Dijon in the eat anything category.
Eating candy canes
Although food ranks higher, an odd thing that Nilla likes is having her ears rubbed. Most horses I’ve known hate having their ears touched, but Nilla loves having hers really scrubbed.
Candy canes! Chrome has never tried them!! I fail at treats lol. I'll have to get some and see if he likes them. 😀 That picture is so cute!
They're basically giant peppermint treats so most horses like them. We had flavored ones so some were more enjoyable than others (they did not really like the grape one).
Umm… I don't think he's ever had any kind of peppermint…. Chrome needs a new treat slave. 🙂 I love those flavored candy canes. I think the Spree ones are what I get. He should totally try them!
Really? Peppermints are like horsey crack. All you have to do is rustle the plastic wrappers and they get excited. They're also like $1 for a huge bag so super cheap treats.
Scratch that! I asked hubby and he says I have fed him peppermints. I just don't remember it lol!! Oh well, if it's been that long ago then he definitely needs some more hehe. 😀
