ok, i am gonna go home and put out some hay and some salted herring. I will get some video of what they choose. also, fwiw, only Tivar and Nasi and Curly Ray will eat carrots, the rest of my horses act like I am trying to poison them with carrots. Only Tivar and Stonewall will eat peppermint. The rest blow at it and back away. so i dont think we can therefore deduce that Tivar loves carrots and peppermints because he is icelandic. I think from my knowlege of him and his habits we can deduce that Tivar will eat anything, not because he is icelandic but because he is a food hog. I bet he would even eat hot dogs and ice cream and birthday cake and I KNOW he enjoys chicken layer pellets a great deal, so we can maybe assume all icelandic horses will choose layer pellets when given a choice between that and hay because one time I caught him going for the layer pellets when there was an entire roll of hay at his disposal...
