Summer Heat Horse Cookies
I thought I would share this salty/sweet summer heat horse cookie recipe i came up with to deal witht the sweltering 100 degree days.
Measures are approximate-
2 cups real oatmeal
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup brown sugar or sugar in the raw
1/2 cup Soybean oil
1 cup wholewheat flour
add a bit of water if mix is too dry
optional- crushed peppermints, cinnimaon, shredded carrots, shredded apples-depending on what your horse enjoys.
mixed together until you can form a soft/non-sticky ball, i did not cook, but you could if you wanted a crunchy cookie. Store in fridge until ready to feed.
My horses were sweating alot in the passture and not using any salt block, so i thought this would be a good way to get some salt in them to help with the hot hot weather.
** Happy Fourth of July**
Wishing everyone a fun and safe holiday weekend. Keep your horses cool, fly free and safe from fireworks. Take a moment to appreciate the brave men and women protecting our country, past and present.

Cookies for Horses
EASY HORSE COOKIES
1 cup carrot grated
1 apple grated
2 Tablespoons corn oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 tsp. salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheet. In a large bowl, mix carrot, apple, corn oil and molasses together. Then fold in salt, oats and flour until well mixed. Spread dough out in one big piece on the cookie sheet. Score dough with a knife to make it easier to break apart after baking. (Or try rolling dough out and cutting shapes with cookie cutters) Cook for 20 minutes or until brown. Let cool, break apart and serve.
I made these for my horses and they Loved them, so did our dogs! I doubled the recipe and turned them and cooked another 20 minutes so they were nice and crunchy. Super easy, fun and your horses will have a great healthy treat.
Best Wishes to All My Horse Friends,
Nancy
