A Sweet Summer Treat: Horse Popsicle Recipe

We've already had record temperatures this summer in Arizona, so I am always on the lookout for ways to keep my horses cool. I knew I had to give horse popsicles a whirl when I heard about them a year or two ago. Now they are a summer staple to help my herd beat the heat. 

Horse popsicles are super easy to make. Read on for my 'how to' video and get the horse popsicle recipe, too! ​

My Horse Popsicle Recipe

Horse popsicles are easy-peasy! Here's what you do ...

1. Buy some Gatorade. (You can always opt for the diet version if you're concerned about the sugars in the Gatorade.)
2. Slice up an apple. Baby carrots are fun to add, too.
3. Put the Gatorade and the apples/carrots in a plastic container.
4. Freeze and then feed!

I simply let the Tupperware warm up a bit (in the Arizona heat it doesn't take long) and then the horsey popsicles slip right out. I put the popsicle in their feeders. Sissy and Tanner love them.

P.S. If you board your horses, I recommend putting the horse popsicles in a small cooler for the drive to the barn.

I hope you have fun with my recipe for horse popsicles. Try them on your horses and let me know in the comments what flavor your ponies like best. Sissy and Tanner love the fruit punch horse popsicles! You can make these for your dogs, too. Mine gobble them right up when it's hot out.

Happy Summer,
​Carly
