Good point! Horses love apples even more than they like carrots, and they like carrots a lot. I used to break a carrot into 1 1/2 -inch lengths and then hold the piece in my lips to offer it to them. They would reach up and gently take it with their own lips. People would be amazed to see it. I don't know why. It was about as complicated as giving a piece of steak to a dog. But it is fun to hold an apple and let a horse eat it (in about 3 or 4 bites, gets a bit messy).
