The Laughing Horses started in 2002 when I was working as an equine massage therapist for various trainers. One day, after finishing with my horse, I went down the row of stables giving each of the horses a special homemade treat. The horses all stuck their heads out of their stalls tossing their heads and smacking their lips for a long time. It looked like they were laughing, and that’s how I developed the name “The Laughing Horses." We used my neighbor Wyn’s horses as taste testers and we got rave reviews! Now Wyn and I sell our Bit Snackers in many fine tack stores.     When I was young I grew up in the country and had a horse, but when I went off to college I sold him and that was the end of horses until my daughters became interested about 10 years ago. We have 3 beautiful horses that are our babies, they LOVE the cookies. Chip will bow and do tricks, we call him the cookie monster. Both of my daughters have been members of Pony Club and every Saturday morning while we were testing the cookies I would take them to the Pony Club and give them to all the horses. The response was great and Holly and I began baking! In the beginning we baked in Holly's kitchen and then moved to a bakery where we baked the cookies ourselves. The orders began to grow and it was hard to keep up, so now we have a bakery making the cookies for us. It's been a fun experience and its a great feeling to watch the horses eat the cookies and quickly ask for more!
