any little things that your horse likes

Cut out all of the insides out of an apple like you are carving a pumpkin. Put in a layer of grain, molasses, and apple flakes. Add another drop of molasses. Add as many more layers as you can fit using anything you want, or use the same ingredients. Pellets, shredded carrots, bran, and alfalfa all work. Once you have made all of your layers, put the top of the apple back on like you would a carved pumpkin. If you add bran, make sure you add hot water to the bran first.

Quick Carrot Treat*

honey
powdered sugar

Place the carrot on a paper plate. Put some honey on it, and role it in some powdered sugar. The amount of sugar depends on how much your horse likes sugar. Place some kind of wrapping on top of the carrot and place it in the refrigerator until the honey hardens.

Shred the apples in a cheese grater. Put them in a bowl. Add the oats, vegetable oil, molasses, sugar, flour, and water. Mix well with an electric mixer. Add more oats or flour if too watery, or add more water if too sticky.

Rice Krispie Bars*
1 cup Rice Krispies
1/4-cup molasses
1/4-cup vegetable oil
1 shredded apple
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2-cup flour
1/4-cup water
Mix everything together in a bowl. Make a rectangle with some tin foil about the shape of granola bars. Pour mixture into the bars then set on a cookie sheet. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook for 15 minutes or until they turn hard. Take out of tin foil and place in the refrigerator overnight or for 30 minutes before serving.

Carrot Candies*
3 large carrots
1/2 (one half) small red apple
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons unbleached flour
5 crackers, the dry, crunchy kind
3 tablespoons molasses
1/2 (one half) cup Quaker oats
raisins (optional)
Peel the carrots and cut them into chunks. Cut the apple as well. You can include the core but try to remove all the seeds. Put the apple and carrot pieces into the blender and blend for a few seconds or until finely chopped. Add the crackers and the Quaker oats and blend again until all the pieces are about the same size. Pour the molasses in and add the flour and brown sugar. Blend again until fairly smooth. There can be a few chunks of carrot but try to get it as smooth as possible. If the mixture appears to be too dry, you may add a very small amount of fruit juice. Now grease a mini muffin tin using vegetable oil (as horses are vegetarians) and flour the pan. Fill the tin with the mixture and if you like top each "candy" with a raisin. Sprinkle lightly with flour and cover with plastic wrap and put in the freezer for 3-4 hours. Serve cold.

Stuffed Carrots*

large carrots (not baby carrots)
Sugar
Cut the ends off the carrots so that the piece is one inch long. Hollow it out. Dice the apples into very small pieces.

Feed to your horse. Can be stored in the freezer.

3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 1/2 (one and one half) cups of uncooked Quaker oats
3 slices of plain white bread
3/4 (three quarters) cup of powdered sugar
1/4 (one fourth) cup water
1/4 (one fourth) cup of vegetable oil
These measurements don't have to be precise I know mine sure weren't!
1. Shred the apples and put them in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar.
2. Shred the carrots and combine them with the apples.
3. Pour in the rest of the sugar.
4. Mix in the Quaker oats.
5. One at a time tear apart the bread into tiny pieces and drop into the mixture.
6. Add the powdered sugar.
7. Stir in the water.
8. Stir in the vegetable oil and mix well.
If the mixture looks too thin, add more oats. If it looks too thick, add more water. Only do this about a tablespoon at a time. Oil two cookie sheets, and put the batter on them by spoonfuls. They should be an inch and a half apart. Bake for 17 minutes at 350 degrees or until golden brown. Let cool and serve them to your horse.

AFTER RIDING COOKIES
4 cups wheat flour

1 egg
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 (three quarters) cup applesauce
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 (one half) cup molasses
1 cup hot water
Bake at 300 degrees on a greased cookie sheet.
Mix flour, oatmeal, and brown sugar in VERY large bowl. Then add egg, oil, applesauce, and molasses. Finally, add hot water and mix well. I normally remove any jewelry and just reach in to mix like bread dough. Stirring with a large fork or spoon is too hard on my arms. Roll out the dough to one half inch thick on floured surface, and cut out shapes or press into the cookie sheet. Bake 45 to 60 minutes. Turn off oven and cut with a pizza cutter into squares and let cool in the oven overnight. My horses fight over these cookies.

3. Then put an apple slice on 6 of the cookies.

CODY'S OATIES
DRY INGREDIENTS:
2 C white or yellow corn meal
3 C old-fashioned oats (not instant)
1 C flaxseed OR wheat germ OR whole oats OR bran OR horse grain of choice
1 C nonfat dry milk powder
1 T baking powder
6 C flour
1 C brown sugar, packed
1 T salt - optional
WET INGREDIENTS:
2 C light or dark molasses (one 16-oz jar) OR corn syrup OR combination
1 C corn oil
water to moisten (usually 1 C; do this last; amount will vary)
Preheat the oven to 275F. In a big bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and stir thoroughly to blend, about 2 or 3 minutes, adding enough water to make a stiff dough. (Don't add too much!) Divide the dough between 2 lightly greased jelly roll pans (looks like a cookie sheet with shallow rims on all sides) and, using your hands, pat the dough gently to level it off and fill each pan completely. Bake at 275F for one hour. After an hour, remove from the oven and, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, score into 1- or 2 inch blocks. (You don't have to cut all the way through - just make indentations.) Return to the oven and bake until almost all the water has evaporated- usually another half hour, but could be more or less depending on humidity, the characteristics of your ingredients, etc.) You don't want the treats to brown - just to dry out. Cool in the pan, then break into pieces along score marks. Keeps indefinitely in a tightly closed container. Warning: A husband found the cooling treats and started eating them. If this happens, do NOT tell your husband he has just eaten horse treats, but just let him think this is some new "health cookie" you've devised to extend his life span. ;-)

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes and cool for one hour. Banana Apple Treats* Apples Bananas, very finely chopped Honey Powdered sugar Cut the apples into slices, and spread the chopped bananas onto the apple slices. Drizzle honey over the fruit, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store in the refrigerator until hard. Peppermint Apples* 1 large apple 1 shredded carrot 1/2-cup oats 1/4-cup honey 5 tablespoons sugar 1-tablespoon salt 3 crushed peppermints Cut the apples in large chunks and set aside. Mix the honey, peppermints, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix the oats and carrots in a separate shallow bowl. Next, coat the apple chunks in the honey mixture and roll in the oat mixture. Place on a plate or Tupperware container and refrigerate until you feed to horses. Do not let recipe sit for more than two days. The recipe makes plenty for two horses. Oatmeal / Apple Snack* 1-cup oatmeal 1-cup whole-wheat flour 1/2-tablespoon brown sugar 2 spoonfuls molasses 1/2-cup water 1/4 diced apple Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in order listed excluding the apple. Grab some batter and stick a piece of the apple into the batter so it cannot be seen from the outside. Do this to every cookie, and place them on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Oatmeal / Carrot Snack* 1 cup oatmeal 1 cup whole wheat flour 2 spoonfuls molasses 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup diced carrot Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add ingredients in order listed. Place batter in round balls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Pumpkin Style Horse Apples* Grain Molasses Dried apple flakes Oats Apple any little things that your horse likes Cut out all of the insides out of an apple like you are carving a pumpkin. Put in a layer of grain, molasses, and apple flakes. Add another drop of molasses. Add as many more layers as you can fit using anything you want, or use the same ingredients. Pellets, shredded carrots, bran, and alfalfa all work. Once you have made all of your layers, put the top of the apple back on like you would a carved pumpkin. If you add bran, make sure you add hot water to the bran first. Super Surprise* Molasses Carrots, sliced Apples, one for as each horse you are going to feed Oats Raisins Peppermints, crushed Using a spoon, take the insides out of an apple. Mix what came out of the apple and all your ingredients together except the peppermints. Put the ingredients into the apple. Sprinkle the peppermint pieces on top. Quick Carrot Treat* 1 carrot honey powdered sugar Place the carrot on a paper plate. Put some honey on it, and role it in some powdered sugar. The amount of sugar depends on how much your horse likes sugar. Place some kind of wrapping on top of the carrot and place it in the refrigerator until the honey hardens.

Snowballs* Crushed ice Snowball Syrup I used to buy them from the snowball stand near my barn until our small barn invested in a snowball machine. I have peppermint, spearmint, and apple syrup for the horses and lemon for the humans. Crush the ice and pour syrup in a cup to your desire. Put in the freezer for at least 12 hours and let your horse enjoy. Either drop it in the feed tub or hand feed. Just make sure they don't try to eat the cup.

Take out of tin foil and place in the refrigerator overnight or for 30 minutes before serving. Carrot Candies* 3 large carrots 1/2 (one half) small red apple 2 tablespoons brown sugar 3 tablespoons unbleached flour 5 crackers, the dry, crunchy kind 3 tablespoons molasses 1/2 (one half) cup Quaker oats raisins (optional) Peel the carrots and cut them into chunks. Cut the apple as well. You can include the core but try to remove all the seeds. Put the apple and carrot pieces into the blender and blend for a few seconds or until finely chopped. Add the crackers and the Quaker oats and blend again until all the pieces are about the same size. Pour the molasses in and add the flour and brown sugar. Blend again until fairly smooth. There can be a few chunks of carrot but try to get it as smooth as possible. If the mixture appears to be too dry, you may add a very small amount of fruit juice. Now grease a mini muffin tin using vegetable oil (as horses are vegetarians) and flour the pan. Fill the tin with the mixture and if you like top each "candy" with a raisin. Sprinkle lightly with flour and cover with plastic wrap and put in the freezer for 3-4 hours. Serve cold. Stuffed Carrots* 1 apple large carrots (not baby carrots) Sugar Cut the ends off the carrots so that the piece is one inch long. Hollow it out. Dice the apples into very small pieces.

This feed can be split to use for 2 or 3 horses or just add a handful to their normal feed, because it is quite rich* and you don't want your horse to colic.

Spray muffin tins with an oil and drop by spoonfuls. They will rise a little, so don't overfill. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Cool on a paper towel. Or you may pour batter into a large baking pan (well-greased!) to make cookie bars. Bake until center is dry and firm (probably 30-60 minutes, depending on your pan and amount of batter).

Roll out the dough to one half inch thick on floured surface, and cut out shapes or press into the cookie sheet. Bake 45 to 60 minutes. Turn off oven and cut with a pizza cutter into squares and let cool in the oven overnight. My horses fight over these cookies.

TRIGGER'S HORSE COOKIES In a large mixing bowl combine: 2 cups sweet feed or equivalent feed 1 cup white flour 1 cup sugar (white or brown) 2 tbs. vegetable oil or shortening 1 cup water Preheat oven to 350 F. Using a tablespoon, drop 2' dia. clumps on greased and floured pan. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 350 F.Makes about 5 doz. cookies. When warm they will be soft. Let sit out for a few days until they're hard and crunchy before giving as treats. CODY'S OATIES DRY INGREDIENTS: 2 C white or yellow corn meal 3 C old-fashioned oats (not instant) 1 C flaxseed OR wheat germ OR whole oats OR bran OR horse grain of choice 1 C nonfat dry milk powder 1 T baking powder 6 C flour 1 C brown sugar, packed 1 T salt - optional WET INGREDIENTS: 2 C light or dark molasses (one 16-oz jar) OR corn syrup OR combination 1 C corn oil water to moisten (usually 1 C; do this last; amount will vary) Preheat the oven to 275F. In a big bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and stir thoroughly to blend, about 2 or 3 minutes, adding enough water to make a stiff dough. (Don't add too much!) Divide the dough between 2 lightly greased jelly roll pans (looks like a cookie sheet with shallow rims on all sides) and, using your hands, pat the dough gently to level it off and fill each pan completely. Bake at 275F for one hour. After an hour, remove from the oven and, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, score into 1- or 2 inch blocks. (You don't have to cut all the way through - just make indentations.) Return to the oven and bake until almost all the water has evaporated- usually another half hour, but could be more or less depending on humidity, the characteristics of your ingredients, etc.) You don't want the treats to brown - just to dry out. Cool in the pan, then break into pieces along score marks. Keeps indefinitely in a tightly closed container. Warning: A husband found the cooling treats and started eating them. If this happens, do NOT tell your husband he has just eaten horse treats, but just let him think this is some new "health cookie" you've devised to extend his life span. ;-) MAD MAGGIE'S FAVORITE COOKIES 3 cups pellet horse grain (soaked in 3-4 cups of water for until mush 1-2 hours) 1 cup bran or cornmeal or alfalfa meal. 1 cup molasses 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup corn oil 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon salt. 2-4 cups flour (for horses allergic to wheat use reg.

Decorate or top with cracked corn, crimped oats or crushed peppermint. Bake on greased cookie sheet until dry. For the more time constrained slaves place in large shallow brownie pan or large cookie sheet, decorate, score and bake.
