Mother is the necessity of invention.  That is certainly true in this case.  
My daughters' Morgan, Elvis, (WickedGoodKnightKiss) is very cresty.  He has always been an incredibly 'easy keeper'.  I have joked often about how I could keep Elvis on asphalt.  Honestly.  He's a typical Morgan, about 14.2, short backed, round, tends to be fat.  Ok.  We try dry-lotting him.  We put him on 'Lite' feed, and little of that.  He slowly loses some weight.... but he is still crested.  and Elvis has always been a bit prone to laminitis.  He's only 8 years old.  So, I do not even n go down the road of 'Cushings'.  He sheds out beautifully.  But, this cresty neck is concerning me.  So, I start hunting information, and discover that Elvis is probably 'IR'  insulin resistant.  It's apparently something like type 2 diabetes in people.  Which is the kind you control with diet.  Ok.  Gotcha now.  Everything I read pointed to this.  IR horses, like Cushings horses, and EPSM (Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy) and RER (Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolosis) horses have a problem with carbohydrates
&/or sugars, which is the basis of most horse feeds.  So, the diet deal kind of stinks.  It's not easy to find 'low carb' stuff, which includes the 'sugars'.  Not just white sugar, but the sugars that are in: molasses, (virtually everything fed to horses, especially treats, has got some molasses in it), corn syrups, and all the fruit sugars that are found in apples, carrots, raisins, bananas, etc.  Then there are the treats which SOUND good, until you think about it - flowers and herbs (organic or not) will have the same type of sugars/starches/carbs as green grass, which is a 'no-no' to our IR/laminitic horses.

Geez!  There is a task for me.  Figure out a way to make horse treats out of nothing horses enjoy.  Ok.  No problem.  Ha!  Believe it or not, I DID IT!
I have developed a horse treat that can be fed to our 'problem carb' horses.   It is the only 'RICE BASED" horse treat I can find, and  I think it may be the only one out there. (*patent pending)   My Sugar Free Horse Treats do not have any:

Corn - the highest ranking NSC (Non-Structural Carbohydrate), Oats, also NSC high,  Molasses, Sugar (Not white or brown), Corn syrups, or any fruits/fruit sugars.

Sugar Free Horse Treats are rice based horse cookies, with just enough flour to bind them together, and hold in the flax seed, which is fabulous for ALL horses, as it'sloaded with those great Omega essential Fatty Acids. I make them here at my house, by hand, they are oven baked til crunchy, and all our horses seem to love them!!!  They come in 4 flavors:  Vanilla, Maple (NOT from maple syrup but only maple flavoring), Cinnamon  and Mint.  I use only imitation flavoring extracts, as real vanilla, maple & mint have alcohol in them, which IS a sugar as well.

They are  only   $3.25 / lb. *this makes them about the least expensive/cheapest specialty horse treat on the market!

I do not make the treats until your order comes in,  
  
 so they are literally as fresh as you could possibly get.  

Now, it also takes me a while to make these cookies, as I do make them by hand.  I can only make about 3 -6 pounds a day.  They bake for hours, then I let them cool at least overnight before packaging them up to be shipped. I am not a 'store', and I do not have an 'inventory' or a  surplus of cookies just laying around until an order comes in.  Often, I will have to go buy the ingredients when I get an order.  I don't keep a bunch of that laying around either. I honestly don't make them 'til I get an order.
So please be patient, and don't expect your cookies the next day after you order them.  It will take me a little time to make them all.

I will make a nice mix for you, so that you will get some of each flavor. 

There are approximately 45-50 cookies in a pound. 
They are about an inch across.   I almost always go 'over' the poundage, and I don't worry about it, as I am shipping Priority, 'if it fits, it ships'.  
So you will always end up getting a little more than what you order.
And if I end up with a lot left over, I will throw even more extra in! :)


I use good ol' ziploc bags (the easy kind to seal with that 
zipper tab deal at the top, not the kind that you have to push together!) 
~ about 1 pound/45-50 cookies fit in a quart sized bag
~ about 2-3 pounds/100-150+ cookies fit in a gallon sized ziploc bag.


These cookies last a long, long time, really. like months.. They are baked virtually dry, and they have no egg, dairy, fats or sugars in them to grow any molds, etc. 


They have only 4 ingredients : 
                   Rice, Flour, Flax Seed, & flavoring.  That's all.  Honestly.

I do this out of my own kitchen, here at my farm. I make them entirely by hand.               I have not sent them off to a science lab to be tested for the carb amounts. I do not have exact amounts of the carb content in these cookies. I am planning on doing that in the future, however. I can tell you they appear to be about  as 'low carb' as you can get for horse treats of any kind, since they have no sugars and none of the 
high carb corn or oats. 

I also GUARANTEE  these cookies.  If your horse does not like them, 
you can send the remainder back to me* (actually you will send them to 
a horse rescue group) and I will refund your money, minus the shipping cost

Payment: you can either PAYPAL me, using the PAYPAL button above or go to the PAYPALwebsite, and where it asks what you want to do, click 'send money' , it will ask what address, and you will use either one of my email addresses below and put in the total price of cookies + shipping

 Elvis is the black horse on the right with Shelby

We have got El on 'lite' which is a low starch feed, plus I give him a magnesium supplement as well, called 'Remission.' and "HEIRO", check out that website

I also feed all my performance horses, 
and my performance prospect babies "Source."
I believe it's good stuff.  Really.
