Mare's milk hailed as a nutty, healthy treat

If you're tired of adding regular milk to your coffee, why not get with the latest trend and try...horse's milk. Produced by a small number of organic farms, it may not be cheap, but it's known for its nutty taste and is credited with a range of therapeutic benefits. At one farm in northwest France, farmers say their mare's milk is so popular, they're now ready to expand. Duration: 02:00

OK so it has a nut like flavor, and it spoiles fast?

I don't see that there is anything more odd in drinking milk from a horse then there is from drinking milk from a cow! Anyway most people go "ewwww" if you suggest they add expressed human milk to their tea ;-)

I have a pony mare whose second foal is now 2yrs & still suckling. I've just started on the process of gradual weaning, but now I'm wondering if I should be milking instead! I'll have a go tomorrow morning after the mare has been on her own all night & see if she will let the milk down?

Eh, I probably won't be trying mare mild anytime soon but owning a draft one day is my dream!!!!
