Get Cooking:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put all ingredients into a big mixing bowl. Use a mixer to thoroughly mash it all together!
  3. Shape the mixture into little cakes, whatever shape you like. You could do, hearts, circles or even horse shape!
  4.  Place them on a non-stick baking tray. You can add some extras to the top, such as as piece of apple or a mint. Press it into the centre of each one. I used a fruit loop!
  5. Bake for 14 minutes until they are crispy but still soft.
  6. Let cool for at least an hour before giving these delicious treats to your horse/pony. Keep them in the fridge to keep them fresh and make them last longer.
  7. Most of all, enjoy!
