Post work treats for your horse

Okay, so while we are on the subject of post work hydration for horses, let's bring up the subject of post work treats. We've all done the "you worked so hard today and did so well, here is the trendiest sugary, molasses treat for you!" Think about that, you probably wouldn't do that for yourself, right? I mean who works out at the gym like a lunatic and then goes and chows down at a hamburger joint or candy store? If you want to treat your horse, give him a healthy snack like you would for your kids. a hand full of whole oats, or alfalfa or timothy cubes or pellets will be just as rewarding and a lot healthier as nutrient uptake after exercise is vital to recovery.
