What Makes the Stud Muffins Advent Calendar Special?
The Stud Muffins Mini Christmas Advent Calendar isn’t just any ordinary advent calendar. Behind each door, your horse will find a Mini Christmas Pudding flavour Stud Muffin, making the days leading up to Christmas extra special. These treats are not only delicious but are also handmade in Ayrshire, Scotland, ensuring top-notch quality.
Festive Design
Aaron highlights that the design of the calendar is Christmas-themed, and while it changes periodically, every version exudes festive cheer. “Whichever one you get will be Christmassy themed so it'll always have that Christmas feel about it,” he says. This makes it a perfect gift whether you’re looking to spoil your own horse or someone else's.
Changing Designs
The calendar’s design varies from year to year, so you might not get the same design Aaron reviews in the video. However, each iteration retains a festive theme that’s bound to add a bit of holiday spirit to your stable.
Christmas-Themed Packaging
The packaging is compact and fits through a letterbox, making it convenient for secret Santa gifts or as a surprise for your equine friend. Aaron demonstrates how easy it is to wrap and suggests it as a great stocking filler or a yard present.
High-Quality Ingredients
Every Stud Muffin is made from high-quality, human food-grade raw materials. Aaron explains, “The treats inside are packed full of ingredients that are not only tasty but really good for your horse's coat.” This includes wholesome ingredients like oats, barley, and fenugreek.
Key Ingredients
Let’s delve into what makes these treats so special. Each muffin is crafted with care using:
Oats and Barley
Oats and barley are known for their nutritional benefits. They provide essential fiber and energy, which are crucial for maintaining your horse's health and vitality.
Fenugreek
Fenugreek adds a unique flavor that horses love, and it’s packed with nutrients that can help improve coat condition and overall health.
Health Benefits
These treats aren't just delicious; they are also beneficial for your horse's coat and digestive system. Aaron points out, “Imagine if you could eat a Kit Kat and it'd be healthy for you.” With Stud Muffins, your horse gets a treat that’s both tasty and good for them.
Coat Improvement
The ingredients in the Stud Muffins contribute to a shiny, healthy coat, making them a fantastic addition to your horse's diet, especially in the cold winter months when coat health is crucial.
Digestive Health
Ingredients like oats and barley also aid in digestive health, ensuring that your horse stays healthy and happy during the festive season.

One of the highlights is the ability to personalize the gift. Aaron suggests adding the name of the horse or the recipient to make it extra special. “You can also put the name of the horse or the person who's going to be getting it in that area there,” he explains.
Adding Names
Writing the recipient’s name on the calendar adds a personal touch that shows you’ve thought about their gift.

Unboxing and Using the Calendar
Aaron takes us through the unboxing process, showing how to open the advent calendar and access the treats inside. He points out that while the plastic packaging might be a bit awkward, it ensures the freshness of the treats.
Opening the Advent Calendar
He demonstrates how to remove the plastic and open the doors to reveal the treats. “At least you know it's fresh and there we go finally we got it off so yeah it actually looks nicer without the plastic doesn’t it,” he notes.
Removing the Plastic
The plastic packaging can be tricky, but once removed, the calendar looks even more appealing. This adds to the excitement of unboxing each treat.

Inside, each treat is pre-packed, ensuring they stay fresh and are easy to dispense. Aaron shows how to open the individual doors and access the treats without making a mess.
Practical Tips
Aaron offers practical advice on how to use the calendar effectively. He admits, “I have made a pig's ear of getting this out of the box I haven't cut it the whole way as I should,” and demonstrates the correct way to extract the treats.
How to Easily Extract Treats
He advises cutting along the pre-cut lines to make it easier to get the treats out without making a mess, ensuring a smooth experience for you and your horse.
