      My Little Pony horses. They are a traditional delicacy.

        Wonderful sentence. I can imagine it to happen somehow.

          I forgot the word for scarf so put something incorrect. The correct solutions show as:

          • Hästen äter min scarf.

          • Hästen äter min halsduk.

          Is that correct that we can just use scarf for scarf?

            Yeah, either works. Swedish has borrowed the word scarf.

              There's also the word sjal which I believe is shawl in English if I remember correctly. But that one is more of a fashion piece than for keeping warm.
