"These are great for the show ring. These are my mare's favorite treat. My gelding is not a big fan of banana, so each horse likes something different. These are smaller than the other version and don't make a mess, but your horse does need to like the flavor. Mike does!"

I would never have bought them if I had known that. The picture in the listing is very deceptive. I am very disappointed with these cookies and ..."
