I am planing on conducting an experiment for my science fair whether or not horses will have a certain preference for different colors of hay. Anyway, I am wondering whether or not human food coloring is safe for horses (they wouldnt need to eat very much at all, just a bite). I would put some food coloring in a bottle with water, and spray the hay to make it a certain shade. I am planning on checking with at least 2 vets to make sure that this will be safe (depending on which food coloring i use). However, I dont have a horse, so i dont know any vets, could i just look up in the yellow pages of a phonebook and call a vet and ask them, or email a vet, or would that annoy them? How can i contact a vet, and if you happen to be a vet and know the answer to my question that would be great too. thanks!

I don't think its posionous. My horse at my popsicle and he didn't get sick.
As far as finding a vet, look under Equine in your phone book. Vets generally don't mind answering questions for you

Of course it is. That's where you get the horse of a different color.

If it is safe for you, then it should be safe for your horses.
But most horses go on smell rather than colour.

you should either check in the yellow pages OR look it up on the internet.

I dont think so... but aren't horses color-blind?
