A horse owner says her pet is 'about to explode' due to overfeeding from walkers. Sarah Cross bought her horse 'Blackberry' two years ago, with her initially living on a secluded farm.
However, the horse had to be moved to Sarah's farm in Newport this year. In her new home, Blackberry is now easily accessible to walkers and her owner says she has become 'clinically obese' due to people throwing the horse food, reports Wales Online.
The food thrown over the fence includes carrots, apples, potato peels, green vegetables and lawn cuttings. However, the latter items of grass cuttings, potato peels and select vegetables can be toxic for ponies and horses, who should not be fed them.Whilst, it is safe for horses and ponies to eat carrots and apples in moderation, Sarah says 'Blackberry' can be fed over 60 carrots a day from people passing by the horse.
The 32-year-old says it is 'unbelievable' the amount of sugar her horse is having daily, with one carrot containing more than four grams.Sarah explains that she has to inform walkers that it is not just 'one carrot' when she catches them in the act of feeding her pony.
