Well if anyone wants a box sent to them....$20 for a priority mail
flat rate box.........
Anyway, horses LOVE Papaya....Foss got a papaya everyday....we go
riding in the papaya fields and stop and let the horses eat papaya in
the middle of the ride......we eat papaya in the mornings.....it is
the one fruit that is beneficial to eat if you are eating meat or
high protein in your meal, it helps digestion...all other fruit
hinders digestion with meat, especially melons.
Easy to grow, any of you in Florida, Georgia or Southern California
should be able to grow papaya easily.....the papaya here grow right
out of rock......we have had a Very hard time starting our papaya at
our cabin, as if any of the horses ever got out they would head
straight to the bay papaya tree and eat it down....we finally have 2
survivors in the yard now, they even have little papayas on them.....
Avocados have been proven in a recent study to aid with horses with
joint problems as well...in the 'The Horse' Your guide to healthy
horse care, there is an article about it...thehorse.com
