Happy Birthday Vegas!

Today is Vegas' brithday!! He is officially eleven years old. I got him when he was five and I must say I usually still think of him as the young guy. Vegas still acts like a kid - if he can get into some sort of trouble he will!
I am going to give you guys a horse cookie recipe. Vegas loves all treats, especially the homemade ones. By baking your own treats, you can be fully aware of exactly what your horse is getting and what he's not. You want to limit the amount of sugars you give to your horse. The horse's digestive system is very sensitive and can cause tummy aches easily through colic (which I will save for another day, as this is a happy day!).

Here are some delicious treats to make for your horse:
