Is it ok to feed a horse corn or carrots2007-11-24 21:18:01Answers:

Both of those are fine to feed-- but i'd definately keep the corn levels down more than the carrots. Carrots are milder and dont have as much energy as the corn-- so I think its better to feed carrots.

If you are planning as using it as a feed corn is a perfectly good feed for horses, but people have gotten into trouble by not understanding it. A one-pound coffee can filled with corn contains two times the amount of energy as the same amount of oats, and if you suddenly feed the corn in the same amount as you do oats, a horse can get into trouble and even founder. Corn also is prone to mold. There are many concentrate mixes out there that contain a mixture of corn, oats and/or barley with added vitamins and minerals. Choose one from a reputable company that is designed specifically for the athletic horse.

Yes it is but not too much , you'll cause him to founder.

Half a bucket full is good.

Yes- so long as it's "food quality" and not rotten or something like that and neither of those should be used as a main source of food. Supplemental/treat only.

Oh, absolutely! Horses love both of these, 'cause they don't get a lot of sweet stuff. We used to save the cobs for my sister's horse...she loved them, even after we ate all the corn off the cobs!

Yes, they love this.

---

yes . just dont put it on the ground where there is a lot of dirt, because a lot of dirt can cause them to get colic

---

Yes, that's fine and they love it. Not to much, they can get colic.

Yes you can feed them corn and carrots
