Homemade Horse Treats

I'm a member of The Horse Review
For as long as I can remember I have loved horses. I used to bug my parents non-stop to get me my very own horse. They finally caved in and bought me my first horse, Topsy. A beautiful Appaloosa horse. That was over 14 years ago and not only do I still have Topsy, I also have 1 Miniature Horse and 2 Quarter Horses to love and spoil.
One of my favorite ways to spoil my horses is to make homemade horse treats for them. I've searched the internet for new recipes and added a few of my own and added them all on one lens. I hope your horse enjoys them!
This is my newest horse, Molly. She is such a sweetie!

Molasses Cookies Horse Treats
These keep well in an air-tight container.
What You Will Need:
* 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
* 1 cup bran
* 1 cup molasses
* 1 cup grated carrot or apple
How To Fix It:
* Preheat oven to 375F
* Oil two cookie sheets
Put aside a small bowl of white 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.
