Papaya is a fun treat I’ve pulled out for a variety of horses. It’s a sweet treat that has some serious benefits for the horse’s gastric system! . Papaya is rich in natural digestive enzymes like papain, amylase, and protease, which help break down proteins and improve digestion — essential for equine gut health . It also supports a healthy stomach lining and can boost nutrient absorption, promote regular GI function, and reduce inflammation — especially helpful for horses prone to ulcers or digestive stress. . And yes — a tiny bite of this tropical goodness goes to Huckle too 🐶 — papaya is safe for dogs in small amounts, providing fiber, vitamins like A and C, and digestive support when served without skin or seeds. . 📌 Always introduce new foods slowly and check with your vet if you’re unsure! . v/c Mr McLeod . #horsesofinstagram #equinenutrition #papaya #guthealth #dogsofinstagram #healthyhorse #trainingtip #equestrian #eventing #horsegirlenergy #horsegirl #equestrianlife #event...
