  • My horses LOVE these treats!! I suggest adding a couple teaspoons of water if the dough won't stick together.

  • I made these a few days ago and the horses loved them! Good cookies. Me and my coach gave them a shot as well, and I must say, tasty. Oh to see Filly's face as we ate her cookies in front of her :P adorable.
    Thanks for the recipe.

  • Oatmeal Carrot Crunchies were so easy to make. I doubled the recipe on my first try and took them to the barn last night. The horses LOVED them. I plan on making a triple batch this weekend.
    I currently don't own a horse but I have one on a 2 week trial. I'm happy to say that he loved these cookies too!

  • Easy to make. A big hit at our barn! Even the picky horses (if there is such a thing) loved them!

  • My daughter made the recipe and was eating it before it was baked. She really liked it. Now we will head to the barn and see if the horses like it as much.

  • My horse loved the cookies, he chased us all around trying to take the empty bowl away from us. Guess what? the dogs loved them too.
    Every one at the barn wants the recipe.
    I did need to add a little water to make them stick together.
