Good on your horse! lol

I remember them being sour and "don't" touch, when I was a kid.

Proper strawberries the way to go!

Thanks all

One of the horses in our paddock eats them! He’s 25 and he does it every year!

You can apparently make jam from them, but I havent.

Or there's this tree. which is more likely the one grown in NZ

As a child our next door neighbour had one and we all used to eat the fruit even though it was a bit bitter. Birds love them.

"while overripe fruit ferments on the branch and can cause mild intoxication"
Your horse is an alcoholic.

They need a lot of extras to make palatable. Real strawberries are nicer.

lol wouldn’t surprise me! He can be a little rat at times. but he’s retired now, he can do whatever he wants! He’s certainly earned it. He probably weighs about 400kg so he would need quite a few I imagine! My horse is a thistle nut. He will eat them till he’s frothing st the mouth. It’s quite funny watching him pick each one off.
