Had to jump in on the Perform'N Win Cookie recipe. I first heard this
from Truman many months back and immediately had to start playing in the
kitchen. I modified his recipe a bit, then used my pasta maker to extrude
the dough, using the "pretzel" die, cutting off one inch pieces. Piled
into a ziplock baggie, they were convenient to carry around and use for
"motivation". The
horses here at the Centre loved them (I had to keep my niece and nephew
from eating the "horse cookies"). One horse in particular, kept nosing
into my pockets or sniffing my hands whenever I came near. However, more
importantly, I used
them as a "reward" for drinking! They would take a drink of water and I
gave them some cookies. When they saw me hold up the cookies, they
quickly learned that a drink would get them the cookies. This could be
very useful for training horses to drink more water. You might want to
try this when out training. Let me know how it goes with your horses!
If you are trying this recipe yourself, you may want to decrease the
molasses. They won't burn as quickly with less molasses, and adding more
sugar to the mix may not be what you want, if you intend to feed
throughout the ride, as the other ingredients all will contribute
carbohydrates.
Good luck!
