Is it okay to feed horses broccolli2007-11-24 21:18:01Answers:

As I was reading these answers I was thinking - don't really know (sounds like no one else does either)...everything in moderation though, so I can't imagine it hurting to have a bit for a snack. I was getting ready to say that the only thing I have ever made a horse sick with was pumpkin...it was an old pony and he colicked very badly. The only thing he had gotten into was the pumpkin insides we threw over the fence. Since Paws and hooves hasn't had a problem, though, maybe it was something else that bothered him...

Yes it is ok. It will take all types of vegies and fruits.

---

yes, and don't forget they like tomatoes and cucumbers

I've never heard of anyone feeding broccoli to horses. It may be O.k., but check with a vet first.

ours loved all kinds of veggies and fruits. watermelon, carrots and apples were their choice. just make sure you do not overfeed and above all NEVER give them spoiled or rotting food. fyi our horse was 34-35 when we lost her last year. she had owned us for 30 years.

NO NO NO NO NO NO. DO NOT FEED THE HORSE BROCOLI. Broccoli is a food with a lot of sulfur in it, as well as cauliflower. It will give the horse bad gas because of the sulfer and then you will have a very bloated and in pain horse. It is not a good idea to feed them broccoli, but they do like carrots, tomatoes, apples, celery and pretty much everything. But research it before you feed it to them. It may be harmful to their stomach to digestive tract. Just because they like it, doesn't mean it is good for them.
