There are lots of ways to pamper your horse. But I’ve always thought my horses appreciated a sweet treat the most. How does the saying go? The way to the heart is through the stomach, after all.
My favorite new brand of horse treats is Zero Proof Horse Treats, made of distiller grains from Kentucky, the bourbon capital. But don’t worry, the treats don’t have any alcohol in them.
These small nugget-sized treats are perfect to keep in your tack trunk or trailer, and make great gifts for your barn friends or even your trainer. They come in fun cocktail-themed flavors, like the classic Old Fashioned (with some citrus notes), an Apple Martini and a Mint Julep. My Thoroughbreds were big fans of the Old Fashioned, but you really can’t go wrong with any flavor.
The size of the treat is perfect – you can slip a handful in your pocket to reward your horse while working on the ground, or even as they come out of the show ring.
Zero Proof also makes dog treats that are just as delicious. Spark subscribers also have access to free shipping and a free gift when they use the promo code “HEELSDOWN” at check out. Enjoy. And cheers!
