HEALTHY HORSE TREAT RECIPES

Making homemade horse treats is one way to make sure that your horse is getting yummy treats with fresh and healthy ingredients straight from your kitchen. Mix up some healthy horse cookies and replace those sugar cubes in your pocket with something more nutritious. Read on to learn how to make healthy horse treats.

Oat ‘n’ Apple Chewies

Treat your horse or pony to these simple squares made of wholesome ingredients. Keep them fresh in the fridge. Remember not to feed too many of any treat too often.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup oat bran cereal or ground oatmeal
  • ½ cup all purpose flour (approx.)

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Oil a 9inch x 9inch square cake pan

Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. The batter will start to shrink away from the sides and it will be firm to the touch.

Slice into squares while still warm. Keep chewies in the refrigerator in an air-tight container or bag. 

Molasses Cookies Horse Treats

Your horse will love the sweet crunchiness of these cookies. They keep well in an air-tight container. Never feed too many treats too often.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup bran
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 cup grated carrot or apple

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat oven to 375F
  • Oil two cookie sheets
Put aside a small bowl of white sugar and a drinking glass with a flat bottom.

In a large bowl mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture shouldn’t be too wet, and should stick together.

 

Add more flour to make the mixture firmer and hold together if necessary. Drop by teaspoonfuls, about 1 ½ inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Grease the bottom of the glass, dip it in the sugar, and stamp the cookies to flatten them slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes. This makes about 25 cookies, depending on the size. Store in an air-tight container or bag.

Head Bobbers

These are called Head Bobbers because when my horses eat them, they “bob” their heads with delight.
  • 3 or 4 apples, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 cup carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup bran or grain of your choice, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet. Mix apples, carrots, oil, and molasses. Then mix in oats and flour. You can either spread the mix on a cookie sheet and break apart after they are baked, or roll the dough out and cut into cookie shapes. Cook for about 20 minutes. Let cool.

Happy Baking!! 🙂
