How to Feed a Horse Carrots

Video Transcript

"When feeding a horse carrots, you first want to make sure that you have permission from the owner to feed the horse because some horses aren't as friendly or gentle when receiving treats. We'll start by feeding the horse from our hand. And the most important thing is to make sure that you hold your hand flat. If your hand is curled, the horse could easily mistake your fingers as the carrot or just in the effort of getting the carrot, nip your finger tips. So I'll hold my hand flat. I'll let her take it. Very nice. The other option if you're not confident feeding the horse from your hand, is to use its feed tub and simply drop the carrots in to the tub. And this is the safest, easiest way to feed your horse."
