Where to get horse carrots?

[Lisajazz]

Anyone know what kind of place i would go to to find horse carrots?

I believe they are cheap and last ages. Just thinking of money saving.

Thanks!

Local stables and riding stables sell them in massive bags, for around £3. I mean there are LOTS of carrots in the bags you buy. But you must eat them up quick! Because they go off easily. x

In devon you could buy them by the sack from Mole Avon and Mole Valley Farmers. Countrywide seems to fill the same niche across much of the rest of the country so I think that would be my first port of call. There's one in Bridgend and another out towards Barry.

You can get them from any local farm shop or a horse supplier store. I use these and they are great. They do last longer. As with any grocery you'll find better quality at different places. The carrots I buy don't go off quickly, I pay £2.50 for a bag and they last around 2 weeks for 33 guineas. Do you have any farm shops near you?

Also make sure you get the washed ones, not the ones fresh out of the ground (aka muddy ones!)

How about your local market?

I buy my piggies carrots by the sack from the local market. Also most greengrocers will get you a sack if you order. At the moment I am paying £2 for a sack of good quality pony carrots. They keep fairly well in winter if you keep them somewhere cool such as shed or garage.

I get mine from a chap who just sells them on the roadside at his house - £1 for a huge net - I get through 3 a week ! He also sells apples, cabbages, parsnips, caulis' all kinds of piggy things

I get mine from the fruit & veg shop in Ashbourne for 2.50. I only buy them in winter because I keep them in the shed and they go off too quickly in the Spring/Summer. They last about a month. Your local greengrocer may be able to get you a sack of carrots if you ask him/her. Thinking about it, your greengrocer may be able to get you all sorts of stuff - it'll probably be just misshapen.
