Re: Horses likes milk bones

Hi Amanda,

If your horse is young, of a good weight, and gets plenty of exercise, an occasional sugar cube is not going to be a problem. However, "occasional" means once in a while, not every day, and certainly not more than one or two cubes.

Sugar is not a nutritious treat, so while a small amount won't hurt most horses, it is not especially healthful.

All the best,

Dr. Getty :)
