Sandi Augustine is the one-woman powerhouse (who still gets help from friends and family!) behind the Stud Muffins® brand of horse treats. Here in her own words is the story of how she started making The Ultimate Horse Treat….. “I first started making horse treats in October of 1997. I was managing a barn of 36 horses and wanted to make the horses a treat for Halloween. I didn’t have much spare time, having little or no help with the barn chores.  I did spend the weekends and the couple of hours I had off in the afternoons trying to perfect a recipe.I had inquired several recipes from friends at the barn and books but none suited the purpose that I was looking for. I had one recipe that I liked but still didn’t come out with the consistency that I was looking for. So one rainy afternoon I enlisted the help of my friend Michelle and we concocted up a formula that was more to my pleasing.

Stud Muffins®:The Popular Choice

Std Mffins®:The Poplar Choice

Stud Muffins® Horse Treats have become a beloved favourite among horse owners and their equine friends. Our treats are known for their irresistible taste and nutritional benefits, making them a staple in barns across the country. Horse owners everywhere trust Stud Muffins® to provide their animals with a delicious and healthy reward. Whether it’s for training, bonding, or just showing a little extra love, Stud Muffins® are the go-to choice for horse enthusiasts.
A few days before Halloween I attached little decorated bags to all the stalls so the owners could treat their horses when they came to ride. After the first day I was back in the kitchen making more because it seemed the horses couldn’t get enough of them. As one owner fed their horse the treats the other horses in the barn would hear the scrunch of the bag and whinnie and nicker hoping to get another tasty bite.

After Halloween was over, plans for Christmas treats were well into the making. The treats were decorated in cello bags with red and green ribbon and were ready to go to the horses at the barn. One day while I was showing Kim my Christmas treats she said that she would take some to the tack store she works at called The Dog & Pony in Ladner, B.C. and sell them for me. I made her up a few packs and gave them to her to sell, not thinking that anything would come of it. Much to my surprise Kim came to me after just a couple of days and put in a order for more because they had sold out.

At this time we thought that if we were going to sell them, we would have to come up with a name, which was not an easy task. We had spent many hours trying. One day my friend Steve walked in the door, noticed the frustration on my face as I toiled over names and he said to me “I don’t know why you just don’t call them Stud Muffins” and from that moment on “Stud Muffins” was the popular choice.

Sandi’s love for horses and her passion for creating something special for them is the heart and soul of our brand. Her story is one of innovation, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
In 1995, Sandi was managing a busy barn, looking for ways to reward the 36 horses under her care. Wanting to create a unique Halloween treat, she spent countless hours experimenting with different recipes. Her determination and creativity paid off when she developed the “perfect formula” that horses couldn’t resist. The treats, made with wholesome grains and a touch of molasses, quickly became a favourite among the horses.
Recognizing the potential of her creation, Sandi enlisted the help of friends and family to meet the growing demand. What started as a special treat for a few horses soon blossomed into a beloved brand, known for its quality and care.

A Legacy of Love: Honoring Sandi Augustine

At Stud Muffins®, our journey is a story of love, dedication, and a passion for horses, all deeply rooted in the vision of our beloved founder, Sandi Augustine. Sandi’s life was dedicated to caring for horses, and her desire to create something special for them became the heart and soul of our brand.

The Birth of an Idea

In 1995, Sandi was managing a bustling barn filled with 36 horses, each with its own personality and needs. As Halloween approached, she wanted to give these magnificent animals a treat worthy of their loyalty. Late into the evenings, she experimented in her kitchen, mixing ingredients, testing recipes, and tirelessly working to create the perfect snack. After much trial and error, she crafted what would become her signature recipe—a treat horses simply couldn’t resist. Made with wholesome grains and just the right touch of molasses, these treats quickly became a favorite among the horses in her care.

From Passion Project to Beloved Brand

What began as a small, personal project quickly transformed. Word of these delicious treats spread, and soon Sandi found herself enlisting friends and family to keep up with the growing demand. Her passion, innovation, and commitment to quality resonated with horse owners far and wide, and Stud Muffins® was born. Each batch was handmade with the same care and attention she had shown in those early days, ensuring that every treat was a reflection of her love for horses.

Sandi’s Unwavering Commitment to Excellence

Sandi’s story is one of grit and heart. Her commitment to quality and her drive to create something truly special set the foundation for everything we do today. She believed that horses deserved the very best, and this belief guided her every decision. Her innovation didn’t stop with just creating a treat; she ensured that each ingredient was carefully selected to nourish and delight horses.

A Lasting Legacy

Though Sandi is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in every Stud Muffins® treat we make. Her vibrant personality, infectious laughter, and generous spirit left an indelible mark on all who knew her. We continue to honor her memory by upholding the high standards she set and by staying true to her original vision of bringing joy to horses and their owners.

Carrying Sandi’s Vision Forward

As we look to the future, we are dedicated to preserving Sandi’s legacy by continuing to innovate and grow. Her passion for equine well-being and the special bond between horse and rider inspires everything we do. Every Stud Muffins® treat is a tribute to Sandi’s love, creativity, and enduring vision—a symbol of the happiness she brought to horses and their riders.

A Journey of Dedication and New Leadership

Lauren’s connection to Stud Muffins® began long before she officially joined the company. At just 9 years old, she was one of the many friends enlisted to help in 1995, working weekends and sharing in the challenges and triumphs. For years, they made the treats out of Sandi’s garage, using equipment crafted by family members. 

In 2016, Lauren formally joined the company, and during this time, Sandi expressed her hope that Lauren would continue the brand’s legacy. They worked closely together in Sandi’s final years, with Sandi passing on her wealth of knowledge. Today, Lauren is honored to carry the torch, driven by a desire to make Sandi proud and ensure that Stud Muffins® remains a brand built on love, passion, and quality. Though we are small, each member of our team is deeply committed to the company’s success and the vision that Sandi entrusted to us.
