Now Legacy can be quite fussy when it comes to treats and trying new things. So when I first seen these I wasn't sure to buy them for her to try or not, but then I thought hey even if she won't eat them Cloudy will give them a go. They come in 3 different size packs of 3, 15 & 45. I decided to just pick up the 3 pack to try them out. 

These are not only general treats for horses but they have some great health benefits too with having human grade raw materials including Linseed, Fenugreek and Whole grains. These treats are also made up with oats, barley, wheat & molasses so if your horse reacts to any of these it's best to give in small portions. 

After not being sure to get these of not for so long it turned out that I shouldn't have waited around. Both horses ended up loving them, the first time Legacy had one her eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head, I gathered this was due to the molasses in them. Cloudys reaction was pretty much the same. 

Although these are perfectly safe to give in moderation I tend to only give these to the horses on occasions such as their birthdays and christmas. I get a pack of 3 and they have 1 1/2 each.  

As I said these come in packs of 3, 15 and 45. 

They are a great price of average 

- £1.20 for a pack of 3

- £5.99 for a pack of 15

& £10 for a pack of 45

These prices will vary depending on where you buy them, but I found them for great prices over on VioVet, Plus postage is nice & cheap over on there. 

Here's a video of each horse loving their stud muffins:

 

Meet Cloudy...

In September 2015 my mum bought her own horse called Cloudy, he is an American Paint X Thoroughbred. He's 18 this year and is an ex eventer. He hasn't been out eventing for a while now as we've had him a year and a half and his past owner had him a couple of years. Since retiring from eventing he has just been a happy hacker with his past owner and pretty much my mum. She takes him in the school on occasions and a bit more often throughout the summer when the roads are busy.

We're not sure on any of his eventing history, but we've seen some pictures his past owner had of him doing it. For the age of him he is still very much active and if you compared him to the way Legacy works you make think their ages were the other way around. He is ridden most days as my mum works in the mornings she gets the afternoons to ride so he is quite fit. There's a popular quick hacking route that the yard do, typically it takes 20 minutes there and back, it takes Cloudy 10 minutes he has such a big stride and is forward going he leaves everyone behind.

Myself and him have such a love hate relationship, he is definitely a one person horse. Lets just say we more tolerate each other. In the beginning we got along well. There were moments where he would misbehave for me but we got over that. There was a time he gave me a black eye, I've written about it in my Naf hedgy treats review. We were doing great riding together and I was even getting back into jumping on him, as he was such a confidence booster when it comes to jumping. If you aren't 100% sure on what you're doing he's great, he does it all for you. Until one day just before christmas the year we got him I was jumping him and he took off and bunny hopped until I was off, I went straight into the puddle. I was ready to finish jumping for the day after that but I got back onto to trot a 20 circle to keep my confidence on him and he did the same again but also jumping over the pole on the floor. Which was unexpected for me. Turns out when we got the back man out after that his withers was out of place and the jumping and work was causing him pain. Since that day I've lost my confidence on him and haven't ridden him without being on the lunge since. As it was even when not in pain he did like to play up for me a little anyway. My aim this year along with getting Legacy working well is to get back on Cloudy and to get back schooling him and listening to me, and maybe we'll leave the jumping as an aim for next year.
