Is there anything your horse is scared of? (plastic bags, caution tape, etc.) Lots of horses spook at these kinds of things…if you hang some around your garden that might keep him out. The Big Cat Scat sounds like a good idea too.

put up a fence around your garden or tie up the horese.
If you live in a heavy deer populated area, your local garden supply might have ‘Big Cat Scat’..That is poo collect from the big cats at zoos. It is dried and used to sprinkle as fertilizer to keep deer out. I’m betting it will work for horses too.
Stop planting a vegetable garden.
You will have to put a fence around the garden. The horse doesn’t know the garden isn’t just more food.
Fence in the Garden lol i let my horse wonder around last summer and she got into my moms garden and she ate most of the plants so my mom would go and spray her with a hose or she would grab her halter and lead her away from there and tell her no
Make it so that your horse isn’t “Free Roaming”…..
put the horse in a corral or put a fence around the garden… why let your horse get into your garden anyways? what’s happens if he gets out of the yard? he should only be roaming around when your home… had horses all my life… just put him in a corral
I let my horses roam in the yard as well so there is a fence up and around my garden area just for that reason
Make sure your horse can’t get into the garden.
what the hell is a horse doing in the garden,you should take him inside and rub his genitals
