Treats from the Herd

Snacks the herd actually demands, in Glytja's words. Always check with your vet before new treats, introduce them slowly, keep portions small, and use horse-safe ingredients only.

Fróði inspects every batch before he eats. These pass. Royal approval.

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup oat flour or extra oats
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • a pinch of cinnamon

  1. Combine into a stiff dough, adding a splash of water if dry.
  2. Roll into balls and flatten slightly.
  3. Bake at 350°F for about 18 minutes.
  4. Cool before the taste test.

A note from the barn: every horse is different. Skip any ingredient your horse cannot have, and ask your vet if you are unsure. Love, G.

🐴Tölt or BoltTap to the beat, hold the tölt
How to play: Tap the trail (or press space) the moment a green beat reaches the ring. Good taps fill my gait meter, misses drain it. If it empties, I bolt for the carrot patch. Every 10 clean taps the tempo picks up. 🎵 Listen for the tick to find the rhythm.

🥣Hermi's Kitchen RaidSneak past Olivia to the Cheerios
How to play: Press and hold the kitchen (or hold space) to tiptoe Hermi toward the Cheerios. Let go to freeze. Watch Olivia on the counter: 💤 means she's dozing (safe to sneak), a flashing ⚠️ means her ears are twitching (stop now!), and 👁️ means she's watching — move and you're busted. Three catches and the raid is over.

🎶Boss Mare SaysRepeat my call, if you can
How to play: Watch and listen — I call the herd one horse at a time, and each horse has their own color and note. When it's your turn, tap the horses back in the same order. Every round I add one more call and speed up a little. One wrong horse and you're out of line.

🥕Trail Tax CollectorNo peppermints, no passage
How to play: You're me, on toll duty. Riders come down the trail with treats in their pockets — tap each rider before they get past to collect: 🥕 carrots are worth 1, 🍬 peppermints 2, and the ⭐ trail boss pays 3. They ride faster as your haul grows. Let three slip past unpaid and the toll booth closes.

🌾Þetta ReddastFix the chaos, it works out
How to play: Little farm disasters pop up around the paddock — the gate swings open, a bucket tips, somebody's escaping again. Tap each one before its timer bar runs out. They come faster the longer you last. Every one that gets away costs a leaf of calm 🍃 — lose all three and the day ends. But don't worry. Þetta reddast. It always works out.

Sóti's Star TrailA quiet game for a good horse
How to play: Each night, a constellation for one of the herd lights up in the sky, star by star. When it fades, tap the stars in the same order to trace it back. A wrong star dims one of your three lanterns 🏮 and the pattern replays. There are seven constellations, one for each horse — Sóti's shines last, and brightest. No timer. Take your time.

🌌Northern Lights WatchNot a game. Just the lights.
How to play: There's nothing to win here. The herd is dozing under the stars — drag your finger (or mouse) across the sky and paint the aurora over them. The lights linger, then slowly fade back into the dark. Clear the sky and start over whenever you like. Be the light. 💛
