Can horses eat grapes?
Yes, but only a little: horses can eat grapes. Rutgers lists grapes among treats that are perfectly acceptable in limited amounts. We found no other horse-specific source, so we suggest keeping it to a few.
How to serve it: a few grapes
Good to know: Grapes are toxic to dogs. CliniTox (University of Zurich) says so for dogs, not for horses.
