Semi-Healthy Horse Treats

Low sugar homemade oat, flax seed, and apple "chewies" for truly spoiled princess ponies :)

INGREDIENTS:

2 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce 
2 ½ cups oatmeal (I used the low sugar Quaker apple & cinnamon instant packets)
1 cup flax seed meal
1-2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350F 

Grease a 9 inch x 12 inch square cake pan with non-stick spray

Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. The batter will start to shrink away from the sides and it will be firm to the touch.

Slice into squares while still warm. (I sliced them into 1 inch squares and it made about 60 of them.)


Keep the chewies in the refrigerator in an air-tight container or bag.

Blue Baby Horses

So Mom says we're getting a new little baby horse soon. (NO, it's NOT mine, I'm NOT that kinda mare!) This foal is going to be born in Georgia and is going to be the baby of Mom's "other" horse. (Yes, I know it's hard to imagine her loving anyone but me, but whatever.) This "other" mare is called Callie and apparently she went and got herself knocked up by some stallion named "Tig" and now Mom says I'm going to have to share her with their foal. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like little horses... but I don't like to share... so that might be a problem. So anyway, here is a picture of that "other" mare and the stallion she's living with:

As you can see, my Mom likes red mares (Although she says there is no way the foal will be red. Something about "heterozygawatty" or some such scientific nonsense)... <Snort> Whatever. I must admit, that Callie horse is pretty (but obviously a hussy... not a perfect, princess pony like yours truly). 

However, that Tig horse is quite handsome though... so maybe this new little baby horse won't be THAT bad... I sure hope it's "blue" like him. I'd like to have a little blue baby horse to boss around...
