Is Vegetable Shortening Bad For Horses!?!?!

My 4y/o Neice and I were in the barn and my neice was eating a cookie and she gave it to my horse and he ate it by the time I saw. All the ingredients in the cookies are safe for horses but I am unsure about vegetable shortening! Please help me! I don't know if it is safe! They were oatmeal cookies if that matters!

Oatmeal cookies are fine as 'sometime' treats for horses.

thanx so that means it is ok lol

You're welcome.

I actually feed mine cheapo oatmeal cookies as treats. I break them up, so the horse thinks they're getting more than they actually are.

I had a question about oranges when I first got my gelding, Casper. He loves anything orange, so don't feel bad if you don't know what a horse can and can't eat. Sometimes it's hard to figure out!

lol I know

And are they safe Speed Racer?

When I read the title of this post I immediately thought the question was going to be about if it was OK to feed shortening as a weight gain supplement in the same way oil is used.

The amount in the occasional cookie here and there should be fine, but I wouldn't recommend feeding it straight

Yes ma'am, oranges are fine, just don't let them eat the peel. The oils in the peel aren't good for them.

Lollll I know I think I freaked out too much lol
Thanx for the answer everybody lol
