HORSE COOKIES FOR A CAUSE!

I have a few different foodie blogs underway, but i decided to start off with this one! This was

by far my most enjoyable recent!

I am currently working with a few abandoned horses. One of the two has unfortunately become severely underweight. I started an online charity through GiveFoward to get these two horses the help they need. A generous handful of people have already helped my fund get on its feet. I was able to buy the underweight horse (Sunny) the high calorie feed that he needs, and I was also able to get him access to hay 24/7. This will help keep his weight on and keep him warm through the long winter months. After a week and a half he is already looking better.

I am trying to get him into a retirement shelter. Due to his age and his condition, I have been getting turned down left and right. One lady I talked to from Hope for Horses pretty much just hung up on me. The price of hay is sky high and the fact that he will probably need a vet in the near future makes most people only see dollar signs and not an animal in need. I'm doing my best to make him comfortable and to accommodate him as much as possible. The farm he is staying at right now has been more than any horse in need could hope for, But again, the financial burden of him getting sick is scary. I'm just trying to keep him out of the glue factory. Feel free to check out my donation page, https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/88s6/help-save-silver-and-sunny. Any donations right now will be will be set aside for any needed medical attention. If i can raise enough emergency money, he is welcome to stay at the farm he is at. Any contribution will go a long way. :)

I started feeding him his new feed three times a day and I also have been encouraging everyone around the farm to give him these yummy, easy homemade horse treats! I made them with all organic materials with the help of my three year old daughter. She loves the cookies too!!! I got this recipe from http://www.theequinest.com/treat-recipes/.
