Pumpkin Treats For Horses

Fall, specifically October, is known as pumpkin season! Perhaps, you're enjoying a pumpkin spice latte as you read this. I have some exciting news... horses can eat pumpkins too. In fact, they actually really enjoy them. The flesh and seeds are safe for their consumption. Many horse owners use the canned stuff for baking treats, as well.

These cookies are filled with yummy ingredients that your horse will love! They're easy to store and can be kept at the barn.

How cute! A tasty treat in the shape of pie. The white frosting is a cute touch.

Natural, vegan, and filled with sweetness, these treats will be a hit at the barn! They're perfect for the season.
