Why Choose Sugar-Free Horse Treats?

Sugar-free horse treats are an excellent choice for maintaining your horse's health. Excessive sugar intake can lead to health issues such as weight gain and insulin resistance. By opting for sugar-free treats, you ensure your horse enjoys a delicious snack without the risk of these concerns.

Benefits of Homemade Treats

Making horse treats at home has several advantages:

Control Over Ingredients: You have complete control over what goes into the treats, ensuring they are free from harmful additives.
Customization: Tailor the treats to your horse's specific dietary needs and preferences.
Cost-Effective: Homemade treats are often more affordable than store-bought options.

1 cup ground flaxseed meal (or freshly ground flaxseed)
1 cup dry, unmolassed beet pulp shreds
1 cup finely grated carrots (optional, but adds flavor)
1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
1/4 cup ExcelEQ Camelina Oil
2 tablespoons cinnamon (optional)

How to Make Sugar-Free Horse Treats

Preheat Your Oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the oats, applesauce, grated carrots, flaxseed, and egg. Stir until well blended.
Form the Treats: Shape the mixture into small balls or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
Bake: Place the treats on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and golden brown.
Cool and Store: Allow the treats to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Tips for Serving Treats

Moderation is Key: Even healthy treats should be given in moderation to maintain a balanced diet.
Check for Allergies: Always ensure your horse is not allergic to any of the ingredients used.
