I think they do like acorns a lot! My horses and goats eat them. Thank goodness the oak trees are in the yard and not the horse pasture, so the horses have limited access to them.

 

however, a month ago when my stallion coliced, after the vet came out and did his thing and the horse started feeling better, the first thing Szybki wanted to eat was acorns off the ground!

 

The vet did tell me, "that's probably not the best thing for him to eat right now."
