Homemade Horse Treats are a labour of love, horsey love for which I'm afraid I'm a sucker and what better way to show that love than by baking a whole batch of these carroty beauties.
Horse Treat Recipe
These are super easy to make and the horses just can't get enough. I'm even tempted to have a little nibble myself. They are carroty and fruity and packed full of rolled oaty goodness.
Feed broken into smaller pieces to prevent choking just in case. They are quite easy to break apart as they are soft inside.
Ingredients.
4 medium grated carrots
1 large grated apple
250 grams rolled oats
250 grams plain flour
5 tbsp vegetable oil
6 tbsp golden syrup
2 tbsp black treacle
There is a full printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas Mark 4 grease or line a large flat baking tray.
- Put all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients together. It takes a bit of mixing but I used my free standing mixer for ease. A hand held electric whisk will do the trick too or else just get mixing with a wooden spoon pony people.
- I use a small ice cream scoop to make the horse treats. I just scoop and release them straight onto the lined baking tray. Alternatively roll into balls with your hands.
- This mixture makes about 16 horse treats.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until just golden and a little bit crunchy.
Feed your ponies and horses these treats broken into small pieces. They are quite easy to break apart.
Homemade Horse Treats Tips
Store treats covered in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a four days.
Add an extra carrot instead of an apple and vice versa.
Use supermarket standard oats as they are just perfect, the flakes are an ideal mix of sizes to help the treats stick together.
These are the best Christmas presents for your favourite ponios. Wrap up in clear plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon for a fabulous festive feel.
