I rarely give em treats myself, we get apple wafers from the feed supplier, my co-worker used to give em out a lot more than I. I guess I'm old school, half the crap out there today, we never had when I was a kid. I use em as a reward, just as I put em to work if they act up so they associate certain behavior with certain things. I have to say that it works well, because they're all pleasant to deal with and we try to keep em happy. Moderation.
Feed is something I don't take lightly and keep a watchful eye on, (I might even be paranoid about it LOL) don't come to my barn and think you can do as you like, feed what you like, ever. Its that simple. Long time friends or former students, (this place has been around a long time)know the deal, occasionally some bring carrots, apples, but are fed moderately, when one of us is present. I insist on that vehemently, cross me and I'll throw you off the premises without hesitation, which I have done once since I've worked there. We have enough trouble keeping an eye out for moldy hay or feed which I have seen at times, well the roof springs a new leak over the hay and or the darned feed supplier giving me bags that had to much moisture and it molds after opened. You can never let your guard down on feed, anyone who is hired is implored to do the same, and is why you don't come to our place and feed anything without us knowing. Mind you we are friendly and sociable people. Another thing is restricted diets, medications and the like, someone comes and feeds something they should not have to a horse that has special needs or same, are they going to the feed room, checking the dry erase board, the card on the stall, you don't know that, and is why you can't have people doing this. I am repeating myself here LOL !
We have a few apple trees in the stallions paddock, he does not mess with them, but we do remove as many as possible, on the ground or within reach to be safe.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
