bullet ½ cup all purpose flour (approx.)
PREPARATION:
bullet Preheat oven to 350F

Halloween Horse Treat

My horses like their Halloween treats.

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.
Make that but use like oatmeal oats, I used old fashioned style versus fast cooking oats cuz they got mushy in the oven, and made those same treats and my horse went INSANE for them, in fact the barn cats got into the bag and ate them when I didn't store them properly when I left for a ride. I don't know anything about bran and hypp horses but just make that recipe with oatmeal oats.

abby - i would make that recipe, but she cannot have molasses. I believe it has potassium in it and she can't have any. I was looking at other recipes that have bran, but i just didn't know if it was ok for them.

Thank you for your input tho.

I couldn't find any information on bran and hypp so i thought if anyone here knew.
