Homemade Horse Treats ingredients: • 1 1/4 cups rolled oats • 1 1/4 cups dry oats • 1/2 cup flax seed • 1 cup molasses • 1/2 cup flour • 1 mashed apple Preparation: • Turn on the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees. • Mix together the oats, seed and flour in a large bowl. Remove the core from an apple and chop it into pieces. • Put the apple pieces through a blender until they’re mashed. • Stir the mashed apple through the flour mix and then stir through the molasses. If the mix is a little gooey, add a little bit more flour. • You should end up with a sticky dough that you can shape fairly easily. • I use a teaspoon to scoop up enough dough to make a small ball. • Put the dough balls onto a cookie sheet and flatten them down with the back of the spoon so they make little patties. • Bake the treats really well for around 30-40 minutes so they’re crunchy. You might need to check them to see they’re not burni
