Sticky Treats

apple or carrot
corn syrup
quick oats

Cut apple in half. Take core out. Roll in corn syrup then oats. Do the same for a carrot. My horse loves this treat and it only takes 30 seconds.

Lizzie’s Rivendale Peppermint Treats

2 cups of flour
1 cup of oats
1/4 cup of molasses
10 crushed peppermints
2 apples

Mix flour and oats together. Add molasses if the mixture is not doughy. Add water slowly until it is doughy. Add peppermints and apples. Cook until golden brown at 350 degrees. Your horse(s) will go CRAZY.

Banana-glazed Apple

1 apple
1 banana
1 handful of ice cubes.
A blender.

Cut and peel banana. Put into the blender with the ice cubes. Chop and blend it together until creamy. Cut the top off an apple and carve out the middle. Fill the apple with the banana mixture. Put top back on. Pour the rest of the banana on top and over the sides of the apple. Serve. This is really easy to make and my horses love it!

Rosey’s Delicious Munchies

1 cup dry oats
1 cup shredded carrots and apples (or either or)
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 cup molasses
Little less than a 1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients first then add everything else. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Your horses will enjoy then very much! Keep in fridge until ready to give to your 4 legged friend!

Happy Oats N’ Trail Mix Balls

5 chopped carrots
Molasses, as much as you want
2 cups oats or quick oats
Any type of grain

Soak carrots for 15 minutes. After they have soaked, place them in a large bowl. Add molasses. Stir until carrots are completly covered with molasses. Mix in grain. Add more molasses until grain is covered. When you have done all the steps, roll them in the oats and form a ball. Wrap the balls in foil and freeze them. When you’re going to hit the trail, just let em’ thaw!

Magic’s Mealtime Magic

1/2 Apple
4 Carrot Chunks
Molasses (as much as desired)
Oatmeal (as much as desired)
1/2 cup Warm Water (about)

Mix oatmeal and water together until it becomes warm mushy ball. Sprinkle apple and carrots on top. Pour molasses on top.

Buttercup’s Buttercupcakes

3 packages apple-Cinnamon flavored oatmeal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup water
Molasses
1 apple, cut into chunks
Peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oatmeal, flour, and apple chunks together. Then pour enough molasses to make a doughy texture. Use an ice-cream scoop or your hands to make dough into balls. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown. After cupcakes have cooled, spread peanut butter over the top for “icing.” This recipe is guaranteed to be a hit with your horses!

Mr. Jingles Nickers n Neighs

1 cup dry oatmeal
1 cup flour
1 cup shredded carrots or apples
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses

Mix ingredients in bowl as listed. Make little balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Frank and Ped’s Sticky Treat

1/2 cup rice
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups complete horse meal or any grain mix
1/4 cup seaweed meal
1/8 - 1/4 cup salt
1/2 cup Lucerne Chaff
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup plain flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 egg
1/2 cup milk

Combine all dry ingredients, mixing well. Add vegetable oil and milk and mix until all are combined. Add the egg and mix again. If the mixture isn’t moist enough, add a little more water or milk. Cover the container with Gladwrap and leave overnight. Feed as a treat.

Bugsy and Nugget’s Delight

1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/8 cup pancake syrup
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped apples
Pinch of dry oatmeal

Mix flour, vegetable oil, and pancake syrup together first. Once batter is made add the carrots, apples, and oats. My friend and my horses had the honor of trying it first, so we named it after them. They loved them!

Penny’s Carromints

Small scissors
Carrot
6 or 9 peppermints

Slice the carrot into two or three pieces, and cut off the ends. Hollow it out with the small scissors and take out the insides. Set aside. Crush 3 peppermints and put in one of the hollow carrot pieces. Take note: Make before your lesson or feeding and don’t make when humid! I found all that out in one day. Penny, a lesson horse I ride, loved them and had the honor of eating them first.

Nightlight and Rebel’s Tasty Mix

1 apple sliced into small pieces
1 handful corn
1 handful uncooked oatmeal
A little bit of powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 handful grain or favorite treats
1 handful cheerios
3 tablespoons syrup, honey, or molasses

Mix corn, oatmeal, apple slices, grain, cheerios, and salt together. Drizzle on syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Chill in refrigerator over night. Horses love this!

Tayler’s Treats

1 large apple
Molasses
Honey
Sweet grain
Dry oatmeal
Oats
Shredded carrots

Cut a small square around the stem. Take it off and set it aside. Hollow out some of the inside. Take the molasses and the rest of the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Pour the mixed ingredients into the apple and put the top back on. This treat will sure be a taste bud surprise when your horse takes a Bite out of it. Store in refrigerator if not fed right away. Do not cut up the apple. Have your horse take a Bite out of the side and work it’s way around.

Pete’s Peppermint Patties

1/3 cup oats
1/3 cup grain
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup flour
Peppermints

Mix all the ingredients except for the peppermints. Take a Peppermint and put it in the middle of a ball of the dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 21 minutes. This makes about 8 patties. You may double the recipe as many times as you want.

Head Bobbers

My treats are called Head Bobbers because when my horses eat them, they “bob” their heads with delight.

1/4 cup molasses
3 or 4 apples, finely chopped
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.

Cassidy’s Carrots

1 carrot
1 golden delicious apple (You may use any type of apple, but this is Cassidy’s favorite!)
Molasses

1. Core apple
2. Cover the inside of the apple in molasses
3. Shove the corrot inside the apple hole
4. Pour molasses into a large plastic bag and put in the apple with the carrot in the middle
5. Close the bag and shake very well
6. Wet hands slightly
7. Pull apple out of bag and feed to your horse

I hope your hose enjoys these treats. They are a great holiday treat too.

Holiday Bran Mash

2 cups of three different kinds of feed
1/4 cup rice bran, optional
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups water
Peppermints
1/2 cup sugar
2 carrots, chopped
1 apple, losely cut

Mix feed, honey, and water in a bowl and put in the microwave for 2 minutes. Add more water if needed. Add sugar, carrots, apples and mix well. Add peppermints. This mash can be refrigerated and reheated before serving. Be sure that the mash isn’t too hot before serving to your horse.
