A number of you requested we added some treat recipes for your horse.  So here are some.  If you know of any more then let us know!

Please only give your horse a maximum of 3 treats per week!!

Carrot and Apple

1 cup sweet feed
2 cup bran
4 large carrots, grated

1 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup applesauce

Mix molasses, brown sugar, carrots and applesauce in one bowl.  In another bowl mix the dry ingredients. Slowly combine the molasses mixture with the dry ingredients. Add only enough molasses mixture to form a thick dough, add more bran if necessary.

Line baking tray with aluminium foil.  Using a tablespoon, drop batter onto baking tray and flatten slightly to form portions about the size of a silver dollar.  Bake at 180ºC/Gas Mark 4 for about 1 hour. Flip and bake for an additional 45 minutes until they are dried out. Keep checking to make sure they don’t burn.

Whinny Bars…

2 Cups Dry Oatmeal
3/4 Cup Grain
3 Cups Bran
1 Cup Molasses

Mix Oats, Grain and Bran together in a bucket. Drizzle in Molasses while mixing with your hands (you’re looking for a consistency a little thinner than Play-Doh). Place dollups (about half a handful) on a baking tray and bake at 180ºC/Gas Mark 4 for ten minutes. These have a tendency to burn. They never get completely hard, but they store nicely.
