  1. We have a pair of miniature horses that practically knock us over when they smell these treats. Too awesome!

  2. I haven’t taken them down to the barn yet but the dogs taste tested enthusiastically.

  4. This recipe is a hit with my horses and dogs. Its a great idea to have a recipe for more than one kind of pet and I hope you’ll post more. I can’t give any treat to any pet or person without the dogs wanting some anyway ROFL.

  5. Since I have both dogs and horses this recipe spoke to me. So did they after they tried it! Thanks!
