I also have a friend that feeds bread solely to his bucking stock cows and his working horses. They are gorgeous! I have recently fallen into a Pepperidge Farm distributor deal....he gives me all his expired bread. Now, this is not your white bread - it is honey flax, oat, wheat, pumpernickel - all the white stuff sells out. Would you still feel the same way about it if it is all whole wheat stuff?

Hi Jenifer,

A whole grain bread as you described can be fed as a treat -- there is still white flour in it -- look on the list of ingredients and if it says "enriched wheat flour" that is white flour. It will likely be close to the top of the list of ingredients, meaning that is it high in concentration.

As a treat, a whole wheat slice of bread for a horse that has no weight, insulin, or cushing problems, is fine. But, not as a meal.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
