I don't know if you know it or not, but putting a couple of slices of bread in the bag with your cookies will also help keep them moist, I do this trick when I make chocolate chip cookies etc. and it keeps them moist every time. Loved the video
thank you my horses loved this I did two things just a little bit different what I did was I turn the parchment paper over so it curled under the sides of the pan and I used a pizza cutter very much faster and it doesn't cut the parchment paper
Sorry, but did you happen to check the sugar content on the apple sauce?? I understand there's no sugar ADDED but apples are naturally quite high in sugar. So no added sugar doesn't mean NO sugar! Do labelling laws in America require this information? If you're saying this is safe for laminitic horses you would want to be very careful
There are labeling laws in the U.S., but they honestly do not list sugar properly. Like cereals, people forget ALL grains turn to sugar....in addition to the added sugar. People forget how high fruits are in sugar. They think it's "good" sugar, but there is no sugar that is "good" sugar. Plus, fructose is solely metabolized in the liver...in both humans and horses.
A quick question - do these treats have to be kept refrigerated? I would love to make them but don’t have a fridge at my barn to keep them in..... also do you preheat the oven before putting the treats in or not? :)
You understand that fructose is a sugar, right? You may not be adding table sugar (sucrose) to your treats but they're still full of sugar. That applesauce has around 11 grams of sugar per half cup serving and that may be too much for someone who is trying to regulate their horse's blood sugar.
And fructose is solely metabolized in the liver....in both humans and horses. Might be okay for the occasional treat, but I wouldn't use these for training purposes, where you are using a lot of them. I would definitely not use them for any horse that has sugar problems, or are easy keepers.
Christine Walters yes Apple has sugar, but 1/2 cup of sugar in that whole batch, can’t be that harmful for a horse without insulin resistance or Cushing ....... I think ?
Joanne Wilson O'Reilly maybe. I'm not sure. I know you shouldn't feed apples to IR horses. I've been feeding a commercial treat called Delights. They have a little sugar in them. I would like to find a treat/recipe that has no sugar. 😊
Hello mam,can you please let me know if we can feed horses biscuits which contains sugar in it coz my horse loves to eat a lot of biscuits.pls reply if it is good or bad to serve lot of biscuits as a treat.pls reply thanks.
equestrians who have their own horse blogs, who are making videos about how to make your own horse treats need to put down in the description box the ingredients, how much you need and how they made it as other people might want to make it aswel.
omg thank you.... i have a mare that had laminitis and she is on a diet, i will add biotin and tumeric to this ☺ but i dont know where to buy apple souce in Slovenia... can i just do it myself?
I thin k you could, the consistency might be a little different though. I would play around with it, and see what happens. That is how I usually come up with new recipes, just add things, and see if it works. Usually it does! 😊😍
@@vden02 this is a late reply but could I use something in replace of apple sauce ? I'm trying to find a good 100% sugar free recipe for laminitic ponies but I can't seem to find a recipe that's 100% sugar free :(
@@alyssawenzel497 You would be better off using forage-based pellets, or find a treat that is forage-based. That's what I use for my easy-keeper mare. And a bag of timothy pellets, or alfalfa/timothy pellets is way cheaper than any kind of horse treats. Actually, if you are in the states, I use Standlee timothy pellets just to get her Big Sky Minerals in her. And, Standlee just came out with horse treats that are forage based (alfalfa) larger pellets with three different flavorings you can choose from. They got pretty good reviews from horse owners, so I'm trying them out.
Why do you add the cinnamon? I would not think of cinnamon for my horse.... I used to make flaxseed crackers for myself and it needs a bit of flavouring. Been thinking of adding some essential oils to the recipe to make it interesting for the pony..
