Horse Popsicles: A Spur Jingling Summer Treat!

We've had record temperatures this summer in Arizona so I am always looking for ways to keep my horse (Sissy) cool. I knew I had to give these a whirl when a family member (Thanks, Uncle Tim!) shared a post from a fellow horse lover on Facebook who had just tried out horsey popsicles. I took some fun video footage of Sissy giving her first horse popsicle a taste. Read on to see the video and get the recipe, too!

How to make a horse popsicle!

Beat the heat with this spur jingling horse treat. It's super easy to make. Here's how ...

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

I put the horse popsicle in a cooler for the drive to the barn. When I got there, I simply let the Tupperware warm up a bit (in this AZ heat it didn't take long) and then the horsey popsicle slipped right out. I put it in her feeder and Sissy loved it.

I think it was horse popsicle success! Which flavor do you think my horse liked best? Blue or red? It would jingle my spurs to hear from you in the comments.
