Homemade Horse Treat Recipes
Horses should not be fed peanuts, because they cannot digest them and it clogs their intestines. According to one vet, peanut butter will not hurt them. Please use your own judgment or check with your vet when in doubt.
Horses don't need flour corn or sugar!

Ingredients:
Flour for human consumption was not intended as horse food. Corn is not digested well in a horses stomach - it is intended as cow food. Sugars - found in table, raw or molasses adds carbohydrates to your horses diet, speeds their heart rate and makes them jumpy. Avoid sugar at all costs.

Instructions:
Just be sensible and purchase treats designed for the horses diet. Limit the amount of apples, carrots and such for horses. While they love the taste of sugar, even sugar found in natural foods is not good for them. Keep treats limited to special days.
