I have heard that chocolate is not good for horses, but I was never sure. Are there any other human foods you should watch out for when it comes to horses? Thanks in advance!

horses have a really sensitive digestive system and it's not a good idea to feed them any human food in general. peanuts and other nuts and acorns are BAD (peanut butter is ok but whole peanuts are not. acorns are poison). walnuts are also poison. onions are also BAD news (not that i know many horses that would eat onions). green apples are ok in small quantities. garlic is also bad for pets. fruit pits (like peachs, plums, and yes apple seeds) can cause cyanide poisoning in large amounts. potatoes are not good for horses, tomatoes, raisins and grapes, broccoli, avocado, mushrooms, and anything with caffeine are bad too
