DIY Pony Treats

Here at the ranch we love to treat our ponies right!
That's one of the big reasons why we LOVE our Pony Camps during the summer.  Our ponies get an extra special dose of love and attention from all of the campers.  This year, they got really spoiled with some brand new tasty treats!
Our Pony Professor, Vicki Massey, shared her equine chef knowledge with the campers by teaching them how to make this fun recipe.
Follow the instructions below to make some of your own to share with your favorite pony!

Sticky Pony Pleasers

1.  Line up 3 paper plates.  Pour a generous puddle of corn syrup on the first plate.  Spread a layer of dry instant oats in the second plate.  

2.  Dip an apple slice or carrot piece in the corn syrup, coating on all sides.  

3.  Dip the syrup coated apple or carrot into the oatmeal and roll until all sides are covered. 

4.  Place the coated apple slices/carrot pieces onto the third plate.

5.  Lick your fingers (yup, there's a treat in it for you too!) and then continue coating the remaining apples and carrots.

Our Campers hard at work!

What kind of snacks does your pony or horse like?  Do you have any special recipes like this one?
