Let’s be honest… Our horses are experts at looking hungry.
They’ll wander over with soulful eyes, twitchy noses and expressions that say, “We’ve never been fed. Ever.”
Please don’t believe them. Minnie, Sparky & Charlie are masters at begging.
They’re on carefully managed diets, specifically prescribed for their individual needs to keep them healthy, and even well-meaning treats can upset that balance. Foods that seem harmless to us can make horses poorly, and too many snacks can quickly lead to serious health problems.
They’ve also mastered another trick. If one guest feeds them, they’ll ask the next guest… and the next… and the next.
Before long they’ve enjoyed seventeen “just one” carrots before lunchtime.
If you’d like to say hello, they’re always happy to receive a gentle fuss over the fence (if they’re in the mood).
So please don’t throw any leftovers into the field, no matter how well meaning. The greatest gift you can give them is simply letting them enjoy being horses. Trust us—they’re far better actors than they are starving.
