Ice Cream for horses
Share
Here's what you need:
🐎 A freezer-safe mold (plastic or metal is optimal). Avoid using glass.
🐎 Some types of horse-safe fruits or vegetables. I used apples and carrots.
🐎 Water
🐎 Optional: A string that can be frozen in the mold for hanging the horse popsicle.
Step-by-step instructions:
-
Gather all the items needed for the horse popsicle, as listed above.
-
Cut the chosen fruits/vegetables into appropriately sized pieces.
-
Fill your chosen water bowl/container with water, leaving a few centimeters free for the fruits/vegetables and to prevent overflow when it starts to freeze.
-
Place the cut fruits/vegetables into the container, along with the optional string.
-
Put the mold in the freezer and leave it there until it is completely frozen. The freezing time depends on the size of the mold.
-
When the horse popsicle is completely frozen, we recommend letting it warm up slightly before offering it to the horse to prevent the horse’s tongue from sticking to it.
-
Hang it in the paddock/stall or serve it in the feed trough, for example.

We strongly recommend using a freezer-safe container, preferably plastic or metal (avoid glass containers and containers with lids).
Additionally, let the popsicle thaw for a little while before offering it to your horse to prevent the tongue from sticking to the ice.
