I have seen heaps of horses eat sunflower seeds, it's just like any other grain (I think). I do believe it has a bit more oil in it and can help improve your horses coat. A horse I know gets fed one and a half cups in her feed each night. She is a 15hh Quarter Horse who is on grass and has a tendancy to get a bit tubby, so I think that measure would be pretty conservative.
hope I've helped

Sunflower seeds might hurt the horse because if they don't digest the shell properly they could colic and possibly die.You should try carrots and apples I give my horse littles debbie oatmeal pies every oncce in a while also try oats granola bars.

I ride a horse at a friends place where i work. When ever i come over i feed the horse carrots, and she loves them.She gets excited when she sees me coming. Try carrots, sunflower seeds are ok.

You would need like, 400 for them to even taste it, and I don't think it does anything.

depends on how much you give them. a small amount won't hurt. i don't know if they get anything beneficial. from then
