Ingredients:
2 cups of cold milk
1 package (4 serving size) JELL-O Instant Pudding (chocolate flavor)
3 1/2 cups (8 ounce container) COOL WHIP whipped topping, thawed
1 package (16 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies, (like OREOS)
 (crush them into tiny pieces in a plastic bag)
Green Food Coloring
Gummy worms or insects
Optional -  coconut - colored green

Equipment:
Measuring cup
Medium mixing bowl
Wire whisk
Rubber scraper or large spoon
Measuring spoons
8-10 paper or plastic cups (8 ounce size)

Pour the milk into the mixing bowl and add the pudding mix. 
Beat with the wire whisk until well blended (about two minutes). 
Add a touch of green food coloring for that "manure" look. 
Let pudding stand for five minutes. 
Stir whipped topping, 1/2 of the crushed cookies 
(and optional green coconut, for a grainier feel)
into the pudding (very gently) with rubber scraper until mixture is all the same color.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the remaining crushed cookies into the bottom of each cup.
Fill cups about 3/4 full with pudding mixture. 
Top each cup with the rest of the crushed cookies. 
Add gummy worms and insects to decorate. 
Put cups into the refrigerator for about one hour to chill them--and enjoy!

Pesticide-Free Horse Spray

Ingredients:
     One Cup Skin So Soft
     One Cup White Vinegar
     Two Cups water
     Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle, shake to mix just before 
     spraying a light mist. Flys dislike both SSS and vinegar. You can also add      
     citronella oil for an extra boost.

You can also add apple cider vinegar to your horse's water for an internal 
     horse repellent. One cup of acv to 50 gallons of water. The horse sweats 
     out the vinegar making him unattractive to flys.
