Peppermint Stick Bran Mash

Well, it is that time of the year again. So I thought I would share one of the many favorite things to treat your four legged friends to. I borrowed this recipe from "The Ultimate Guide to Pampering Your Horse" by June V. Evers.

Peppermint Stick Bran Mash

Ingredients:

1 cup crushed candy canes

2-5 cups bran

1 tablespoon salt

1 carrot, diced

1 apple, diced

1/2 cup molasses

2 cups sweet feed

Dissolve crushed candy in 2-3 cups boiling water and let water cool

to warm. Then, mix all ingredients together except sweet feed in a feed bucket. Add more warm water to make it soupy rather than crumbly. Cover with towel and let stand until cool. Right before serving,

spread a thin layer of sweet feed over the top and sprinkle on a

crushed candy cane to garnish.

ENJOY, I know they will.
