I bought a new horse (Cosmo) a few weeks ago. In addition to eating loads of carrots, he’s also eating all of my free time. We got out first big snow day in a long time last weekend and I was meeting up with some friends to ride in the snow, so I decided to make some homemade horse treats to bring along. The treats were a big hit! Even one horse who is a super picky eater enjoyed them.
