Wow, Thanksgiving is upon us already. You're probably going to be enjoying a meal and visiting with relatives indoors today. Your horse will have a day off but why not let him enjoy a special meal also? Here is a great recipe of bran mash to try out. It will warm his tummy and make his day special:
Thanksgiving Mash
Ingredients:
Hot Water
A dollop of molasses
A handful of brown sugar
Two carrots shredded
One chopped apple
6 Cups of bran mash
Your horse’s daily grain ration (either morning or evening portion)
2 cups of apple juice
Optional ingredients:
chopped up corn (still on the cob), apple sauce, carrot tops, dollop of corn oil, store-bought horse cookies or sugar lumps.
Instructions:Mix all ingredients together in a large bucket. Pour enough hot water on top to resemble soupy oatmeal. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, or until the bran has absorbed the water and is cool enough to eat. Pour the apple juice on top and serve. Discard any leftovers.

Looks like a tasty treat. Where do we get the bran mash?

You just need to pick up regular bran feed from co-op or local feed store. In this case plain wheat bran would work best. However, if you just want to make it once, you can pick up bran in a grocery store or health food store in smaller quantities. This recipe works great as a snowy day warm treat also!
