Horse Delights 

Senior Horse pellets  - about 2 cups with about 3/4 c water added to make a mash

Rolled Oats  - about 2 cups

Bran  - enough to make the mixture dry enough to handle  (1-2 cups)

Molasses  - about 1 cup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease cookie sheet

make small balls (if you can) put on greased cookie sheet.

These cookies will be REAL hard, but the horses love them.

Let cool, break apart and serve.

HORSE COOKIE RECIPE
 
MIX in a big bowl:

6 C. bran
2 C. oatmeal
2 C. cracked corn
2 C. flour
1 C. sugar
2 T. Salt
2 t. cinnamon
2 eggs
16 oz. sweetened apple juice

Preheat oven to 325 F
Roll the dough into one- or two-inch balls and bake at 325 F for 45 minutes or
until they are dry and crisp.
The dough is very sticky; it helps to dip your hands in water periodically
while handling it.
(This sounds like it would make a lot.... I bet they could be frozen in
airtight freezer bag for storage).

Sam I Am's Favorite Meadow Muffins

In a huge bowl, combine the following

4 qts sweet feed
2 cups bran or bran cereal
2 cups oats (I used Quaker oats from grocery store)    *optional
1 12-oz can frozen apple juice concentrate
5-6 carrots, chopped (use food processor)
3 apples, chopped            *optional
2 cups raisins               *optional
2-3 cups molasses
1.5-2 cups caro corn syrup
5 eggs
2-3 cups corn oil
2 tbspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 F

Then add flour and water, alternating until you have a cake-like
batter that is very chunky.
The whole idea is to get this big sticky mess and then add
a cup of flour and a cup of water, alternating, until you get the
consistency of a thick chunky cake batter.  If the batter looks too
thick, add more water.  If the batter looks too thin, add some flour.
 How much of each depends on what goodies you put in the cookies.
Spray muffin tins (mini muffins are best) with an oil and drop by
spoonfuls.  They will rise a little, so don't overfill.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes.
Cool on a paper towel.
*Or, pour batter into a large baking pan (well-greased!) to make
cookie bars.
Bake until center is dry and firm (probably 30-60 minutes,
depending on your pan and amount of batter).
Let cool overnight or for several hours. Cut into squares.
This makes a huge amount (2 grocery bags full), so you may want to
cut the recipe down by a factor of 2 or 4.

Cody's Oaties

DRY INGREDIENTS:
2 C white or yellow corn meal
3 C old-fashioned oats (not instant)
1 C flaxseed OR wheat germ OR whole oats OR bran OR horse grain of
choice
1 C nonfat dry milk powder
1 T baking powder
6 C flour
1 C brown sugar, packed
1 T salt - optional

WET INGREDIENTS:
2 C light or dark molasses (one 16-oz jar) OR corn syrup OR combination
1 C corn oil
water to moisten (usually 1 C; do this last; amount will vary)

Preheat the oven to 275F.
In a big bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
 Add the wet ingredients and stir thoroughly to blend, about 2
or 3 minutes, adding enough water to make a stiff dough.
(Don't add too much!)
Divide the dough between 2 lightly greased jelly-roll pans (looks
like a cookie sheet with shallow rims on all sides) and, using your
hands, pat the dough gently to level it off and fill each pan completely.

Bake at 275F for one hour.
 After an hour, remove from the oven and, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter,
score into 1- or 2-inch blocks.
(You don't have to cut all the way through - just make indentations.)

Return to the oven and bake until almost all the water has evaporated -
usually another half hour, but could be more or less depending on
humidity, the characteristics of your ingredients, etc.)  You don't want the
treats to brown - just to dry out.  Cool in the pan, then break into pieces
along score marks.

Keeps indefinitely in a tightly closed container.
Warning: A husband found the cooling treats and started eating
them. If this happens, do NOT tell your husband he has just eaten
horse treats, but just let him think this is some new "health cookie"
you've devised to extend his lifespan. ;-)
