Who Is Skode?

Gourmet Menu

Is there a suggested serving size or maximum daily amount suggested for Skode's Horse Treats?

No. Skode's Horse Treats are just that -- treats -- and therefore should not be fed as meals. That said, rest assured our cookies, brownies and trail mixes meet and /or exceed the strict dietary standards of the Official Equine Cushigns and Insulin Resistance Group. Backed by many clinical trials and much scientifc research, this 5,000 plus member group has found that Insulin Resistant horses do best when fed free choice or nearly free-choice amounts of low sugar/low carbohydrate forages, along with small amounts of whole foods that do not exceed combined sugar and starch levels of more than 10 percent.

Skode's Horse Treats Inc. adheres to these standards by providing treats that never exceed this 10 percent maximum.

Just use a little restraint (after all, your horse may very well want to eat an entire bag of our treats at once!).

Why don't you use artificial ingreidents or flavorings -- using those things would make your treats a lot cheaper wouldn't they?

We believe that humans and horses are healthiest when treated to the most natural life possible. So when it comes to a horse's nutritional program, only the best hays, whole foods, herbs and fruits will do! Sure, these ingredietns cost more than a synthetic flavoring from a bottle -- but doesn't your horse derseve the best? We think so.

Which of your treats has the lowest combined starch and sugar levels?

Currently, our Nutty Seed Cookie ranks in with the lowest sugar and starch level of all our treats. It's Non-Structural Carbohydrate level is a mere 5.4 percent. "The Enchated Flower Blossom" is next. It's NSC is only 5.7 percent.

Are your treats totally safe for Insulin Resistant Horses?

Nothing can be deemed completely safe for all horses. We work very hard to ensure that our treats meet or exceed the guidelines set forth by the Equine Cushings and Insulin Resistance Group (meaning all combined sugar and starch levels fall at or below 10 percent.) However every horse is an individual, with some horses being EXTREMELY sensitive. If you have any concerns, please check with your Equine Nutritionist and/or Veterinarian.

Why do you offer tea strainers with your cookie and brownie mixes?

The tea strainers give you a way to steep the herbs in hot water before mixing all of the ingredients together. This is not absolutely necessary, but does increase the intensity of the taste of the mixture. The tea strainers can also be used to make fresh, herbal teas for your horses.

Does Skode's Horse Treats Inc. ship internationally?

Yes! We have customers all over the world, including Canada, the U.K., and Australia. Please email Skode for a shipping quote to your specific location.

What is involved in becoming a Distributor?

Successful distributors have a heart-felt interest in helping horses enjoy the benefits of a low sugar lifestyle and are able to schedule bi-monthly, regular bulk purchases from Skode's. These bulk orders start at only $200 and come complete with samples, flyers and advertising opportunites with Skode's. Please email Skode with any inquires.

Do you send free samples?

As an important part of our treat development process, Skode's is continuously sending free samples of new recipes to established clients. We call these our Taste Tester Teams and each recipe is tested by dozens of horses across the country. We include established customers in these trials and request that you communicate with us about your horse's opinions. However we do not send random samples to people.
