Feed a horse enough apples and it wil kill them but it takes quite a few seeds even to have an effect on a human and they are larger and have a more robust digestive system than us so.
If i remember right it will take about 25 pounds of apple seeds to kill a human. No way someone can ingest that many appleseeds.

A human would need to eat around 200 apple seeds to ingest a fatal dose.
A horse, being up to two or 3 times larger than us, could ingest up to 400 apples before the cyanide would kick in.
Now I don’t mean 400 seeds, I mean 400 damn apples.
The average number of seeds in an apple is anywhere from 5-13. That’s about 2000-5200 apple seeds for a fatal dose.

my horse likes carrots more than apples.

I approve of this ofcourse.

They're digestive system is probably different.

Well, horses and people aren't exactly the same.
