Horse Apples

For those of you who think horse apples grow on trees, stop reading right now. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Monday seemed to be the perfect day to share this post - one of the great challenges of living in an area with lots of horses - Horse Apples.

Particularly when certain dogs find the smell and, er, flavor irresistible.

Can you believe the hu-dad makes us go around these delicacies?

    It boggles the mind! How could the Hu-Dad deprive you like that?

    We have never tried such delicacies but we are sure our Hu-mom would also deprive us.

    Apparently your Hu-dad does not know the law of the road. Smelly things are smelly because they need sniffing, and more….

    Oh my gosh, I would hate to see what Amiee would do with Horse Apples. BOL….The cat poop and stuff is bad enough. We would have to say we would turn around and go back home if we came upon those Apples. :) Sniffs, The HoundDogs

    Riley says those horse apples look as yummy as the little rabbit “peanuts” she’s been enjoying in the yard over the last few weeks! I guess the rabbit poop looks just like kibble…pretty sure I don’t wanna know how they taste though! Horse apples=BIG kibbles!

    Our dogs love horse apples! I’d much rather they ate those than cat poop, at least they are only digested grass and a bit of grain.:)

    Hehehehe horse apples make the best treats lol! Luckily mine are around them so much they aren’t too interested in them. They prefer what the cat leaves. Yuck!

    There is nothing worse than having a pup burp in your face after having feasted on one of those. We have several horses as well as our boys – it’s a constant challenge!

    Those apples are a big issue around here too! Fortunately, they don’t seem to make the dogs sick but I never let them kiss me after a fresh pile of apples appears on our trails!

    Don’t feel bad about not getting horse apples…not only can we not have cow pie, but we are not even allowed to sniff it, dig in it, or roll!
