Mrs. Pastures Horse Cookies (32 Oz)

nice treats, they stay fresh and keep well.

My elderly horse was starting downhill and I wanted to spoil her more than she was already. Our feed store was continually out of the treats she liked, and I was desperate to find oatmeal-molasses ones. When these arrived (promptly), I was skeptical -- skeptical that all three horses would like them, that my older horse would be able to chew them, that introducing them would cause gastric problems. Nope. All three horses loved them. Even though my old mare sadly is gone, I know she went happily. She found these so delicious and easy to chew that she got more than she should have her last few days. The two younger horses are addicted and nicker loudly, neigh -- sorry, couldn't resist -- bellow for them. How these two rascals can hear that lid opening is beyond me. By the way, these do come in a jar so very, very few of them break during shipping. I think the jar and lid keep them fresher, too, and if you have problems with racoons in your barn, and keep wildlife out. The jars are so sturdy that I am saving them for other uses, such as for storing nails and small tools. If your horse is fussy, or even if not, I recommend these. I had 3 different horses on 3 different kinds of feed, BUT ONLY ONE TYPE OF TREAT. These!

I no longer have horses, but I've bought Mrs. Pastures Horse Cookies for years. More years then I can count. They were my mare's absolute favorite treat of all time, so when I was asked to horse sit for my neighbor's horses and had the chance to ride a friend's mare, I knew I needed to get these treats. I'm happy to say all the horses absolutely adored them. Paddy, who can be picky about his treats, ate these first. Khemo inhaled them and seemed to find the crunch very satisfying. He looked for more after he ate them. My friend's horse, Tilly Mae, was the cutest with these. Her mom is not a treat giver so it was the first time she had a treat. Tilly took one, rolled it in her mouth, took a bite and her eyes got huge at the cruch. She was not expecting it. Lol Once she got over the initial shock, she fell in love with them, so now she's a total begger. I feel like my job here is done! I'm happy to say that even decades apart, my horses of the past and my horse friends of today all love these treats!

Both of my horses love these crunchy treats. I was unsure if these cookies would appeal to one of them because he doesn't like apples and these contain apples. However, he really loved the taste and eagerly asked for another one. I like to give the horses a treat mid-day in winter to help boost their calorie intake. These are perfect for that purpose. The limited ingredients in these are wholesome too. The 32 oz size contains lots of cookies to last a long time. I'm very happy with this product.

They are dry, hard and smell like horse food. Super easy to use. The price for the size was VERY disappointing! I can get a bag with almost three times the size of this container for the same price. They were out at my local feed store last time. My horse loves these so I try to keep them handy at all times! Which prompted me to buy them from Amazon. My horse isn’t that picky about food. She will eat almost anything once but she does have a preference for these treats. If I give her an off brand she will eat it but not take a second one or spit it out if she really doesn’t like it. She will sniff you up and down if she thinks you have a cookie in your pocket! They don’t break apart so they are easy to keep in your pocket with out it turning into a mess. I do find them to be a big reward if I’m trying to work on a skill I use something smaller if we are going to be working together for a bit and I want her to have just a bite. These she has to stop for a minute to chew.
