Do not feed them the following things: corn, bread, rice, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, peppers, onions, garlic, chocolate (I KNOW, SAD RIGHT?), ground beef, steak scraps and chicken skin. so basically, be very careful. For saddles, halter and harness, use leather. that way, if they get snagged, it can brake away. some healthy food choices are apples, carrots, grain, straw and oats. for a special horse treat, mix molasses and oats. do not feed this to the horse more then once a week or it will be very naughty (oh, those naughty horses!). for grooming, you will need: a curry comb, a simple animal brush, a hose, and a rag.
to clean there hooves, you need a hoof pick. no, dont use sticks, this makes pieces of bark or splinters will get stuck in the hoof. pro tip (either know im not a pro): to get the horses hoof up, dont pull on it. the bones in a horses leg are really sensitive, so stroke down the leg until close to the hoof, the horse will put up its hoof. so thank for reading my blog today. BYE BYE.
This is an american paint horse.
