  • I was taught that cooking and baking for someone is a labor of love. I bake cookies for my horse once a week. Initially, the reason I did this was to ensure that my horse was getting delicious, nutritious ingrediants and not too much sugar. Now, I find myself baking them because it is another way to connect with him, even when we aren't together. He loves the cookies I bake him. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure he knows they're homemade. I share them with our barn family too - other horses (with owner's permission of course)and they are a huge hit. Even our puppy-dogs love 'em. So far, his favorite is an oatmeal, carrot, and molasses recipe similar to the one featured here, but I keep modifying and trying new things so neither one of us gets bored. No, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for my baby. His birthday is June 1, so I have plenty of time to learn how to bake him a horsey birthday cake!

  • Found it cheaper to actually purchase horse cookies than to buy all the stuff and take the time to make them. Walk in Tractor Supple, Walk out, feed to horses!
