Are sunflower seeds good for horses, what do they do for them?
I have seen heaps of horses eat sunflower seeds, it's just like any other grain (I think). I do believe it has a bit more oil in it and can help improve your horses coat. A horse I know gets fed one and a half cups in her feed each night. She is a 15hh Quarter Horse who is on grass and has a tendancy to get a bit tubby, so I think that measure would be pretty conservative.





hope I've helped

Reply:I ride a horse at a friends place where i work. When ever i come over i feed the horse carrots, and she loves them.She gets excited when she sees me coming. Try carrots, sunflower seeds are ok.
Reply:depends on how much you give them. a small amount won't hurt. i don't know if they get anything beneficial. from then
Reply:Sunflower seeds might hurt the horse because if they don't digest the shell properly they could colic and possibly die.You should try carrots and apples I give my horse littles debbie oatmeal pies every oncce in a while also try oats granola bars.
