Basic Racehorse Bran Mash
To prepare a good horse bran place approximately half a kilo of dry bran in a large bucket. Pour boiling water over the bran and stir to moisten. (A metal sweat scraper does an excellent job of this.) You can make the mash “crumbly” or quite sloppy, depending on your and your horse’s taste. Cover the bucket with a large towel, burlap feed sack, or some leg quilts, and let the bran steam for at least fifteen minutes, until its temperature is comfortable to your fingers. Add molasses, sliced carrots and apples, oats to taste (if you wish to soften the grains, you can mix them into the bran before adding the water). If adding medications, mix them in just before serving, as any cooking might change their composition and effectiveness. Serve warm to rave reviews. Yield: Serves one to two horses.
