Vashka, Skode's mascot, showing the world what horses really want: Real, Live, Whole Foods!
Skode's Horse Treats started the low-sugar horse treat revolution in 2006 with it extensive line of minimally processed, human-grade whole food and herbal horse treats.
The inspiration: We noticed that virtually every packaged horse treat was loaded with molasses, grains, wheats and all kinds of other fillers - and then literally processed to death in high-heat ovens.
We knew our own horses needed and craved REAL "LIVE" WHOLE FOODS. And when we did our research, we realized every other horse on the planet does, too!
Skode's Horse Treats are made with earth-made ingredients. Take a look at this ingredient labels from one of our "The Apple Pie Cookie" treat:
Each of those ingredients is human grade -- or even better -- "Certified Organic." You could actually eat our Apple Pie cookies!
Now look at this -- our Digestion Cookie label:
Sounds like something you could find in a gourmet salad at a resturant doesn't it? We take great pride in our ingredients!
That's why we take the time to dehydrate, as opposed to bake our treats.
Commercial baking in high-heat ovens may be the fastest and cheapest way to produce a horse treat. However, at Skode's, we believe your horse deserves better.
That's why we take the time to slow bake our treats at very low temperatures. Sometimes this means a 38-hour turn-around just to dehyrate an order. We don't mind. This is how we retain those wonderfully nutritious constituents found found in those real, live, whole foods.
Now we'll let a few pictures talk for themselves:
Skode's Enchanted Flower Blossom Cookies -- those are pesticide-free Rose petals on top.
Skode's Minty Rose Brownies, made with essential oil of Peppermint and Certified Organic Rosehips
Skode's newest "Cookie with a Purpose." Where else can you find organic blueberries on top of horse treats!
