Healthy treats for our best friends!

Getting bored with cutting up carrots and apples? Time for a change? Well look no further! We've compiled a handy list of alternative treats for your four legged friends!

We'll start off with the most common which are of course apples and carrots but here are a few you might not know:

* Apricots, make sure these are pitted!
* Bananas, these can also be a great appetiser when paired with honey.
* Beetroot, improves exercise tolerance and stamina and is great for condition! Feed raw.
* Blackberries, ours love these and pick them off the bushes around their field, berries are also full of antitoxins.
* Blueberries.

* Celery, a great treat and has a very high water content, a great addition to a feed or as a treat!
* Cherries, half and take out the stone.
* Coconut, remove husk. Coconut is fab for weight gain and conditioning, we feed a coconut supplement!
* Dates, remove the stone.
* Figs, remove skin.
* Grapes.
* Grapefruit, remove the rind and feed occasionally as citrus fruits in large quantities can be bad for a horse's gut.
* Lettuce, cut up and feed in strips.
* Mangoes, remove the stone.
* Oranges, feed occasionally.
* Peaches, remove the stone.
* Pears, great alternative to boring apples!
* Pineapple, feed in small chunks.
* Plums, remove the stone.
* Pumpkin, remove seeds and only feed the flesh.
* Raisins.
* Squash, feed flesh and remove seeds.
* Strawberries! Rowan adores these and has eaten our plants on many occasion having broken into the garden!
* Tangerines, feed sparingly.
* Turnips, cut into small chunks.
* Watermelon, horses love the rind especially.
* Alfalfa, wheat, oats and barley (basically, you can feed your breakfast granola or muesli to your horse if you want to)!
