About 6 months ago, our friend Piper, gifted Buddy some horse treats. Now the thing about these horse treats is that they are made with natural ingredients so they are both horse and human friendly. Buddy LOVED these treats, as did I!
If you are looking for a gift for your horse, I highly recommend you give these a go. Super easy and delicious! Thanks for the recipe, Piper!

4. Cut apples and carrots into rough chunks and place in thermo mix. Add 1/2 cup water. Blitz until fruit is a pulp consistency. If you don't have a thermomix, you can grate the fruits.
