So I'm at the farm the other night. Solo's feeder is a triangular bin in the corner of his stall, so a few pellets always get crammed in the corners where he can't reach them. Being an OCD horse mom, I pick them out & move them out to the middle so he can finish them. So, I peek in to the feeder to see if any are in there. And I see...
Broccoli.
Um.
Blink blink.
I know I am crazy, but I swear to god there are a couple bits of broccoli on Solo's plate.
I look up at BO. I look back at feeder.
Blink blink.
Ok, yes, definitely broccoli in there.
I look back at BO. I ask hesitantly, lest my insanity become blatantly obvious.
"Um. Has Solo been eating broccoli?" I am sure that I must be having yet another very strange dream.
BO (laughing): "Oh, LOL, DH (who is an avid gardener) had a bunch of leftover broccoli & cauliflower the other night so he brought it up to the horses for a treat."
Me: "Ohhhhhh..."
Yes, my horse, the giant food snob, who won't even eat peppermints because they are not Horse Food, has spat out cucumber and banana and watermelon all with equal distaste, apparently cleaned up a plate of broccoli & cauliflower, as evidenced by the sprigs left behind.
Who knew that Solo had such a taste for salad? What's next - cherry tomatoes? Beets? Rutabegas? I am going to have to talk to BO about random veggies in the food as they can cause gas colic...
What kind of crazy stuff does YOUR horse love?
