Hy Equestrian Gingerbread Cookies Advent Calendar
Description
The Hy Equestrian Guilty Pleasures Gingerbread Cookies Advent Calendar is a Christmas countdown calendar for horses, with a horse treat hidden behind every door. It is made for owners, sharers and loan riders who want to include their horse or pony in the festive season, and it works equally well as a Christmas gift for a yard friend.
Each treat is inspired by the warm, spiced charm of gingerbread cookies and made with wholesome, horse-safe ingredients. Best for daily rewarding through December, for bonding time during grooming and in-hand work, and for anyone looking for a horsey stocking filler that gets used rather than put on a shelf.

- Introduce gradually over the first few days if your horse has not had treats before.
- Reseal or close the calendar after each door so the remaining treats stay protected.
- Pair the daily treat with grooming, groundwork or in-hand practice to make it a training moment.

FAQ
Is this advent calendar for horses or for people?
It is made for horses. Every door holds a horse treat made with wholesome, horse-safe ingredients, so the calendar is opened by the owner and eaten by the horse.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The treats suit horses and ponies alike. For smaller ponies or good-doers, you may prefer to break a treat in half and spread it across two days.
What flavour are the treats?
Gingerbread cookies — a warm, spiced festive flavour that most horses take to straight away.
Can I feed these if my horse is on a restricted diet?
Treats are complementary and should not replace forage or a balanced daily ration. If your horse is on a restricted or veterinary-advised diet, check with your vet or nutritionist before feeding.
How should I store it before December?
Keep it closed, cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, and somewhere horses, dogs and children cannot reach it. Stables and tack rooms attract curious noses, so a sealed container at home is safest.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. It arrives ready to give and is a practical present for horse owners, sharers and loan riders who already have plenty of tack.
