How much fenugreek is safe to give my horse?

Start with 1-2 teaspoons of fenugreek powder daily for a normal-sized horse. Always check with your vet to find the right amount for your horse's health and size.

Can I use fresh fenugreek instead of dried powder?

Fresh fenugreek is okay, but dried powder is easier and more concentrated. If using fresh, use more and make sure it's dry and ground well before adding to treats.

Are fenugreek treats suitable for all horses?

Most horses can enjoy fenugreek treats, but some might be sensitive. Horses with health issues, pregnant mares, or on meds should talk to a vet before trying fenugreek.

How long do homemade fenugreek horse treats last?

Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot for 1-2 weeks. For longer, refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for 2 months.

Can I substitute ingredients in the fenugreek horse treat recipe?

Yes, you can swap out ingredients for your horse's diet. Try barley instead of oats or applesauce for molasses. Make sure any changes are safe and healthy for your horse.

What are the primary health benefits of fenugreek for horses?

Fenugreek helps with digestion, appetite, and might reduce inflammation. It's full of proteins, vitamins, and minerals that help your horse stay healthy.

How often can I give my horse fenugreek treats?

Treat fenugreek snacks as occasional rewards, not daily. 2-3 treats a week is a good amount. Watch how your horse reacts and keep their diet varied and balanced.
