Question

Can I feed my horses watermelon?

Answer

Watermelon is not harmful to horses. In fact, it is a great treat.  In some European countries, watermelon rind is a common horse treat, though it should be cut into small, easy-to-chew pieces. If large pieces of rind are given, horses may choke. However, horses generally prefer the sweet flesh to the rind.
