 ??? ??? I think the cost would be prohibitive. Try hay or grass ;D ;D eat the peas yourself :yum:

Like you, only fed the crushed ones, in animal feed bags.  Cannot see a problem, although I would worry they would gulp a big mouthful, not chew and just swallow them and maybe choke.

You would need an awful lot of peas to fill my big Irish Draught mare.  Don't think a tinful would be enough!!!

Can't say I know anyone who has fed peas to a horse.

I don't know anyone who has fed peas to any animal! However, I know people who feed pea pods and plants to their goats. We feed the micronized flaked peas to the goats too.
