Two more treat recipes

Oat 'n' Apple Chewies
Treat your horse or pony to these simple squares made of wholesome ingredients. Keep them fresh in the fridge.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup oat bran cereal or ground oatmeal (I used oatbran)
½ cup all purpose flour (approx.)

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees
Oil a 9inch x 9inch square cake pan
Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. The batter will start to shrink away from the sides and it will be firm to the touch. Slice into squares while still warm. Keep chewies in the refrigerator in an air-tight container or bag.

The boys quite like these... soft but yummy apparently.

Molasses Cookies Horse Treats

Your horse will love the sweet crunchiness of these cookies. They keep well in an air-tight container. (Definitely a favourite with my boys).

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup bran
1 cup molasses
1 cup grated carrot or apple

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees
Oil oven tray
Put aside a small bowl of raw 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.
