Is it your horsey's birthday!?!  Make them a horse cake!!  Just follow these simple instructions.  This girl named Geddes at the barn that I ride at made a pony this cake & he loved it!  Then I decided to make Brandy a cake & she loved it!!  Follow these simple instructions!
 

For this recipe, you will need:

    Mix the bran, oats & molasses together--use especially a lot of molasses to help the mixture harden.  Then place it in a flat pan & smooth it out like a cake.  Then place the shredded carrots over the "cake".  Then, pour a little bit of molasses over the cake to make it set & harden better.  Decorate it with candles (carrots) & icing (shredded carrots).  Then, let it sit in the fridge over night to harden.  My horsey loves this & so will your's!!
 
 
Ingredients:

~ one whole apple finley chopped
~ 1/4 cup of water
~ two carrots finley chopped
~ maple syrup (about 1/8 cup) or regular syrup (not as much as maple)
~ 1 cup of cooking oats

~Mix all ingredients together in a bowl (the mixture should be sticky
but not
very sticky)
~Use a muffin or "cupcake" pan grease it (flouring it is better for the

horses) and put about 1 and 1/2 spoons of the mixture in each
compartment...
~Spread evenly and pack down
~ Bake for about 10 minutes on 425 degrees
~ DO NOT TAKE TREATS OUT OF THE OVEN UNTIL THE OVEN IS COMPLETELY COOL
OR
THEY WILL GET MUSHY!!!!
~ break into pieces and serve about 1/4 to 1/2 to your horse every now
and
then....dont ever give a whole one unless they are teeny tiny b/c it
could
give the horse a sweet tooth....

That is all....it's that simple!!!!!

Thanks

Mix all the ingredients in large bowl (don't feed your pony more than about a cup of the Pony Salad your pony could get a
sweet tooth) . It makes a great treat for your pony after a show!
 
 
Janet Doyle:
I just made this up tonight and I think horses will like it
You will need:
  Hollow out the apple with a pealer as much as you can scooping out the insides. Pour some oats in to it then add some
molasses, repeating this until you have a centimeter to go. Make sure you stir the oats and molasses with a strong tool like a
chop stick. Put some carrots on top and puch them down, squeezing a bit of molasses out the top and add the crushed bran
flakes. put it in a freezable bag and stick it in the freezer. Take it out when you're ready, and warm it up a bit. Then (Duh) feed
your very very good horse the treat. Now that is a reward!

    Just a few words on feeding horses treats - - some people get kind of weird about it and think that they need to feed treats in buckets or not at all in order to prevent their horses from becoming nippy. I have hand-fed lots of treats to horses every day since day one, and she never demands them; it's a respect issue. If your horse is pawing the ground or getting upset when he doesn't get his treats, don't give him any. Wait till he behaves. Don't encourage him by standing there with the treats in your hand and waiting until he stops (you'll wait all year), just go on with whatever you were originally doing and once he's standing quietly, give him some. If your horse is becoming nippy, discipline him gently. I usually just give a small smack on the nose - - it wouldn't be enough to hurt the most sensitive-skinned human, but it surprises the horse. He'll probably try it again but if you're persistent and refuse to let him have any until he behaves, he will. One thing I've also learned that helps in developing the respect regarding treats is using a special word whenever you're hand-feeding the horse; it's essentially the same thing as clicker-training. I just say "cookie" with a certain tonal inflection, at which point the horse's ears perk up and she begins to get excited and look for her treat. She never expects a thing until I say "cookie", and so she learns that she only gets cookies on my terms. 

Pack some horse and human treats for those long trail rides!
