| This May Save You Real Cowboys A Little $ I was reading one of the books Teddy Roosevelt wrote and he mentioned giving his pony a cracker for a treat. I just learned that Emmett Dalton, my Shire, likes Captian's Wafers. I do to so they'er always on hand.

| You know we, or I, often miss the obvious. No telling how much I've spent on store bought treats, apples and carrots and such.

| They like sugar cubes too. Most horses love apples but I had one that wouldn't touch them. He'd take you down for a carrot but wouldn't touch apples.

| Member  | Give my horse a pinch of copenhagen every so often, he chews it around a little then swallows it lol. But a little bowl of sugur really gets him tickled. Every time i go catch him i give him a little dab of oats, starts things off nice. |

| Emmett won't take anything without getting to smell it first. If I rub salt or sugar on his teeth he'll take it but not in any other way. He won't tell me why??? JSYK, he was a one time starved down real bad and was rescued off of a truck taking him to slaughter. He was not very trusting when I got him.

| I'm often away from my horses for long periods since they are about 50 mi. from where I live but never have trouble catching them because of the treats I always have.I think it's rather dumb to chase them when I can get them to chase me. sam. |

| I used to have a little girlfriend whose pony loved hamburgers. That danged horse would follow you around pushing you until he got a hamburger too.
