Horses will eat anything.
I have cared for a horse that would steal your Cherry Pepsi, drink it all down, then consume a fruit pie, tin and all, with a smile on her face.
She, on more than one occasion, managed to steal hamburgers from people. Ate with gusto.
The old farm vet we had used to say horses were second to only pigs and goats, in that he had never seen a horse eat an entire Christmas ham, only half of one.
The idea of a horse who's just a little bastard and steals everyone's food is super cute. 🥰
She'd do more than steal it. She'd silently stalk you for it. I still don't understand how an animal that large can move in absolute silence, but if a horse does not want to be heard, you aren't hearing them.
That's how she got the pie the first time. My grandfather foolishly put his Pepsi up on the gatepost, and she stole that while he fixed the gate. She got the pie when he turned around to yell for my grandmother to come over, and he didn't feel her take it out of his pocket. Just turned around, and she was chewing.
Horses sound like the kind of people who keep the party going!
There is never a quiet moment with horses. They're naturally curious, can be extremely playful, and aren't known for their subtle personalities.
You know a horse loves you, because you're going to have that full head shoved against your torso. You're going to get your head shoved into a nostril. You might get flipped into the water trough, and laughed at.
Aww, that must be so much fun!
I've also noticed that they tend to have well-defined personalities (I have no first-hand experience, so I may have incorrect info on this), it must be a real treat to be able to develop a long-term friendship with one!
I'm glad you've had such an experience in your life!:D
