Here are two ideas, depending on how clever (or motivated) you are in the
kitchen. Both of these are okay to feed at horse shows, but some commercial
products are not - always read the ingredients carefully, or you may find
yourself explaining to the AHSA.
Squire's favorite whinny bars
2 cups oats
3/4 cup grain - this can be cut down if you have a hot horse
3 cups bran
1 cup molasses - this may have to be altered depending on how sweet your
grain is.
Mix oats, grain and bran together - I use a bucket. Drizzle in molasses,
wile mixing with your hands - you're looking for a consistency a little
thinner than play-doh. Place dollops (about a half-handful) on a cookie
sheet and bake at 375 for about ten minutes - these have a tendency to
burn. They never get completely hard, but they store nicely. When I'm in a
hurry, I spread the mixture in a pan and cook it like bars, but it is
difficult to get out of the pan unless I've greased it. This recipe makes alot
- you can cut it down to size pretty easily.
"I didn't buck today" treats
2 sticks butter or margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup raisons
2 cups rolled oats or oatmeal
1 cup alfalfa pellets (I'm talking about the little ones, the ones that are
cylindrical and about a half inch long, not the pressed squares.)
Mix butter with sugar and eggs until smooth. Add dry ingredients slowly.
Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet - bake for about 8 minutes at 350.
These have a tendency to go very quickly at horse shows - some people in my
barn even eat them and the horses love them.
If your horse is picky, you can always fall back on carrots, apples, and
sugar cubes :-)

This recipe started as a mistake. I meant to make bran muffins for
people but had no molasses. Decided to use the molasses that I buy
for the horses. Wrong. Tasted terrible to me. However, the
horses think these are great. I make a double batch each New Years
Day so they can each have one for their birthday.
HORSE MUFFINS (makes 12)
1 and 1/2 cups bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup molasses
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
1 egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Stir together bran, flour, soda
and baking powder. Mix together milk, molasses, oil and egg. Mix wet
ingredients into dry ingredients. Bake in greased or lined muffin tins
for 15 minutes.

A few months back, someone ask for a recipe for horse cookies. In this
months Horse and Rider, there is a recipe. It was sent in by Jolee Brunton of
San Diego, CA (thats California) and here it is (sorry Todd Ourston, this
is really about Horse Cookies, not Horseshit):
"It's easy and the following recipe makes dozens of treats for about
$10".
15 cups sweet feed
(I use Walker's Ace High)
4 12-ounce jars dark molasses
1 cup water
5 cups flour
Mix the first three ingredients, then add flour to hold the dough
togather. Coat mini muffin tins with vegetable spray, then use a spoon to
press dough into each compartment. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or
until dark brown. Let cool, then store in an airtight container.
If anyone on the net knows Jolee, please thank her for me and my
horses, mules and ponies (they are hooked on Mrs. Pastures Horse Cookies
@ $25.00 per 5 pounds).
