Thanks Marisa, it’s a joy to publish and illustrate everyone’s words. We make a darn good team, eh? Congrats on your
firstsecond blog.I shall attempt to have a go at these, when i get some of the ingredients (i think i spelt that right!*?*) I didn’t realise this was your 1st blog, well done! :D
Actually, it’s my 2nd blog! My 1st was Fight to the Death. I have some more blogs coming in. One comes in on the last day of August and the other one is about rodeos, but I’m not sure if it got published yet! I hope you like these recipes, don’t feed your horses burnt cookies! lol
Awesome, that is very wonderful.
Hello future Jr. Blogger!!!!! :) On the date of August 31st, you will be a true Jr. Blogger!!! Im am SOOOO happy for you Marisa!!! You will be awsome at it!
(I am SOOOO trying out those Horse Cookies. Black pearl will go crazy when he sees me with them!!)
Marisa,how many does that recipe make?Thanx!
Cassie, it really depends on how big you make them. Try it and you’ll find out! I’m sure it will make more then one! Horses love them!
Thanks Tori! I can’t wait too, and I’m positive that Black Pearl will LOVE them!!! :)
Sorry for so many questions Marisa,but can you give the treats to donkeys and goats?Thanx :))
Cassie, I don’t mind all the questions at all! I guess they can eat them. Take a look at the ingrediants and see if goats and donkeys can eat them. I think donkeys can eat them because they are very close cousins to the horse, but I’m not sure about goats.
Fabulous idea Marisa! I can’t wait to read your next blog and welcome you as a Jr. Blogger! Those cookies sound so delicious, I want to eat them as well lol!
Thanx Marisa,I’ll try and see if I can feed them to goats and donkeys and horses!
Thank you Madelaina! I can’t wait to be a jr. blogger, I bet the cookies would taste good too! lol
I never tried it yet, I still need the molasses. Do you think the treats would be good without the mollasses
If you can eat the ingrediants, thann you can eat the treat!! Im going to eat one!lol
Tori, I’d use mollasses because it’s only safe. I wouldn’t try it without the mollasses because maybe it will make the horses sick. So go buy mollasses. Actually, I think we can eat the treats too! lol It might taste good, it sounds good!
Marisa: Thanx for saying so! I would NOT want to make my fav pony sick!
