Christmas Treats for Horses (and Dogs)

Christmas time is the time of joy, friendship, warmth, peace and abundance - all the things that pets enjoy as well, all year around! The horses or dogs might not have a glue what is going on, but for us, humans, Christmas time means more. 

Jenny Nystöm

























Taking extra care of domestic animals, wild animals, even elves, has been included in the Finnish Christmas tradition. In general they have been treated by indulging them with better food and delicacy.


Banana treats

7.5 dl of whole wheat flour
4.5 dl of muesli
5 malted bananas
2 dl of water
4 tablespoons of muskots
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp honey


Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cut the dough into a 5 mm plate and cut the dough into the shape of your desired biscuits. Bake at 170 ° C for 30-35 min.

Rudolf Koivu



Oat treats

2.5 dl oat flakes
75 g margarine or butter
a small crumb of buljong cube
4 dl of hot, boiled water
2 dl low lactose milk powder
2 dl potato flour
1 beaten egg
7.5 dl graham flour


Make the broth and mix the oat flakes and margarine into the liquid. Allow the mixture to cool and mix in a mixture of milk powder and beaten egg. Mix the potato flakes with dense water and add them to the dough. Finally add little graham flour with good stirring and make the dough stiff. Cut the dough into a plate and cut into pieces with hamburger molds.
Bake at 175 ° C for about 50 min. Biscuits cure when cooled.

About the Ring Amate


The ring Amate is actually the basis of the whole ring collection.
It´s simple, slender and shows the horse hair ribbon beautifully.

Ribbon style 'mountain peak'

In the ring Amate the ribbon is 3 mm wide, the total width
of the ring is 5.8 mm.

If your horse´s tail is monochrome, it doesn´t matter:
Horse hair is dim shiny like linen or silk; it looks beautiful.

   "It´s just perfect... Like my horse!"

 Depending on the colors you find in your horse´s tail and the
ribbon style you choose, it always looks different and unique.

Ribbon style 'road'

The ring Amate is available in silver, gold and white gold.

In the picture below you can see that the inner side of the ring
is slightly convex. That makes it more comfortable to wear. High
edges protect the most valuable part - the ribbon.

Ribbon style 'arrow head'

If you wish to wear the ring daily we recommend gold or white gold.
Silver is soft and gets easily worn out in daily use.

For bigger hands we have the ring "Tuum". It´s similar to the
ring Amate but wider.

We know what your horse means to you. Our aim is to make you
a lasting and meaningful keepsake which you can carry
with you for years to come.
