- Hey, guys, today, I've got a really fun video
for you planned.
I am not in the barn, as you can see,
but today I'm gonna be making horse treats.
It's the holidays here.
And I thought I could make my horses
something really delicious
that I know they're gonna enjoy.
Even if it's not the holidays where you're at,
these are treats your horses are gonna love.
They're so easy to make, really simple recipes,
and they are healthy for your horse.
All natural ingredients, no sugar added.
So let's take a look at the three different treats
we're gonna be making.
First is toasted apple cinnamon.
Then we have date delight.
And lastly, carrot crunch.
So here's all three of the treats we're gonna be making.
We're gonna start with date delight.
We'll need bananas, dates, oat flour, rolled oats,
some vanilla, and some salt.
I'm gonna leave all of the recipes for these treats
in a PDF down below.
We're gonna use organic pitted dates,
one cup, and I'm gonna put them into this bowl.
I'm gonna be making all the butter for these treats first.
And then at the end of this video,
I'm gonna bake them all.
Once I've got my cup of dates filled up,
I'm gonna put it into my bowl, take it over to the sink,
check that I've got some warm water,
and then fill up the bowl until the dates
are completely covered.
Then I'm gonna set them aside to soak for 15 minutes.
(upbeat music)
(timer goes off)
Once my timer goes off,
I'm gonna drain the water out of the bowl.
And at this point, your date should be nice and soft.
So this step really helps to make sure that your dates
are able to mix into your butter really nicely.
So next, I'm gonna chop up my dates.
Just chopping them up into really small little pieces here
so they mix in.
And then I'm gonna put them aside in my bowl
so they're all ready to go.
So here, I've got all the ingredients laid out.
We're gonna start with our rolled oats.
And I'm gonna add one cup of rolled oats,
1/2 cup oat flour,
1/4 teaspoon salt,
one teaspoon of vanilla,
1/2 of a banana,
and the banana is gonna help to stick everything together,
so really important part,
and our dates.
Then I'm gonna mix everything together
until we get a nice consistency.
So here's the consistency we're looking for
and now it is ready for the oven.
(gentle upbeat music)
Next, we're gonna make our toasted apple cinnamon.
So we need applesauce, cinnamon, bananas, oat flour,
rolled oats, vanilla, and some salts.
(upbeat music)
We're gonna start with our rolled oats,
we need 1 and 1/3 cup.
Next, we're gonna put in one cup of oat flour.
And then 1/2 cup of applesauce.
This is unsweetened applesauce
that's gonna help to make the treats a nice apply flavor.
(gentle upbeat music)
Once I've put in my applesauce,
the next thing I'm gonna do is put in some cinnamon.
And cinnamon has some wonderful benefits
for helping regulate your horse's blood sugar.
And it just smells amazing
and really makes the treats so much more delicious.
So I'm adding 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
(gentle upbeat music)
One teaspoon of salt.
A teaspoon of vanilla.
And 1/2 of a banana to help stick everything together.
And here's the consistency we're looking for.
Now, we're ready to put it in the oven.
(gentle upbeat music)
Next we're gonna make our carrot crunch.
We need applesauce, carrots, bananas, oats, and oat flour.
We're also gonna need a little bit of salt.
So here, I'm gonna start with my carrots,
and I have freshly-grated organic carrots.
Grating the carrots can be a little bit of a pain,
but once you get them all grated, they look so beautiful.
Look at that rich, orange color, really pretty.
I'm gonna be using 1/2 cup,
and you can also use chopped-up carrots,
but grated carrots I find just mix so nice,
so I prefer to use them.
And then I'm gonna use one cup of rolled oats,
one cup of oat flour,
1/2 banana.
I'm gonna put 1/4 applesauce,
one teaspoon salt,
and 1/2 a cup of the shredded carrots.
So I'm mixing it all up.
It's a little bit messy
but I'm gonna keep mixing it up until I get it
to this nice consistency.
And now it is ready to go in the oven.
So I'm gonna take all my treats and be baking a mix.
(gentle upbeat music)
I'm gonna preheat the oven to 350.
I'm gonna use one tablespoon to put all my cookies
onto a non-stick tray,
stick them in the oven and set the timer for 12 minutes.
Once the 12 minutes is up,
I'm gonna take them out and flip all the cookies over
so that I can cook them through to have a nice consistency.
(gentle upbeat music)
So once all the treats have been flipped over,
I'm gonna put them back into the oven
and set the timer for five minutes.
So there we have it, some delicious horse treats.
So we have our date delight here.
We have our carrot crunch, they are these ones.
And then we have our apple cinnamon toast.
So which one of these treats
is gonna be your horse's favorite?
Well, obviously, it's gonna depend on the horse,
but I have a really fun video coming up next week
and I'm gonna be working with three horses
that you know from this channel,
I'm gonna be working with Legend, Pearly, and Meg,
and I'm gonna seeing which treat they choose
to be their favorite.
If you're watching this during the holidays,
I hope you stay safe and well and have a wonderful time.
I look forward to seeing you in the next video.
