Hi all,
Gwen mentioned wheat being bad for horses and that in France they
feed horses the end of their baguettes.
A friend of mine who has 15-20 horses at any one time (mostly
Arabians) claims that in Germany they feed their horses bread. So, guess
what? She buys tons of loaves of bread at the day old store and feeds
them to her horses. I have no idea if this is bad or good, but nobody
has died yet (at least that I'm aware of). Also, I don't mean to
exaggerate. I don't believe she feeds bread exclusively - they get hay
and grain too. I don't know what her exact feeding schedule is, but she
does feed bread.
