Apple Cider Vinegar for Horses - MUST READ!

Tobar · 04-06-2007, 06:22 PM

Well, I have one vote against ACV. Oh, not by me...I think ACV is everything it is cracked up to be. But, my horse, thinks different. First place, he hates apples. And when I put that stuff on his feed, he looked at me as though I were trying to poison him. I laughed at the face he made. He absolutely refused to eat, so I had to change it out. He was so happy!!!! So, I guess I will just have to use it as a bug spray instead of putting it in his feed.

Well, I got some ACV and have been wanting to add it for a while- this thread helped me make my decision...

So, for a 2 year old mare should I do 1/2 cup in her feet every day?? 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 at night. Or should I do more or less??

Ive also used it in her drinking water. We went to a new barn and she wouldent drink the water- dumped some ACV in and swilered it around- and a little later, she drank the water for the first time.

i have been feeding acv in my stallions drinking water every spring and summer for several years and i do believe it helps keep the bugs away.

No, I havent used honey for cuts, I use for allergies. He gets the 20cc per day for as long as I hear him coughing and then for a couple of days after he stops. It is so dry here right now and the pollen is in full force.

I got a bag of feed- 1/ cup a day for a 2 year old QH right??

I have my yearling and 2 year old on 1/2 C per day. I split it up into 1/4 C in the am and 1/4 C in the pm feed. I havent had a problem with any of mine eating it. Thank goodness. I actually like the smell of it too

Could someone help me?

I have a 23 year old with arthritis. I'd like to try ACV. How much should I give? Will it affect his other supplements? (Corta-flx, msm, temporary aspirin)

Have you tried to mask the flavor/smell with molassas?

Sorry, what does cc and C stand for?

haunani · 04-10-2007, 12:52 PM

cc = mL = milliliter

C = Cup = 8 ounces
