Ever thought about baking some horse treats? This summer, I am spending all of my time riding my favorite horse in Remsenburg, LI.

Molly has been working so hard for me.  It’s been really hot (95 degrees on Monday) and we’ve been jumping 1’9 and 2 foot.  so I thought “How about I make some homemade horse treats for her?”  On Saturday I made two different treats. I almost did everything but I got a second degree burn on my hand so my mom wouldn’t let me go near the oven. Just in case you want to make these cookies at home, here are the recipes…

Ingredients

Peppermint Treats:

10 Crushed Peppermints

2 Cups of Flour

2 Apples

I Cup of Oats

1/4 Cup of Molasses

Water

Directions

1. Mix flour and oats together

2. Add molasses

3. Add water (VERY) slowly until mixture is doughy

4. Add peppermint

5. Add apples

6. Cook at 350 degrees until golden brown

 

Ingredients

Carrot Horse Treat

2 Cups grated carrots (about 4 large carrots)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup molasses

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup oats

1 cup flour

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix together the carrots, oil, and molasses until combined. Add the salt, oats and flour and stir until it’s combined.  It will be a sticky dough like consistency.  Form into small one inch size balls with your hand.  Place them on a parchment or sill, pat-line baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
