"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!"

— Jacqueline

"These cookie horse treats are ridiculously small. In the picture they look the same size as the other Mrs Pastures cookies but they are not. They are tiny. 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 ..."

Bottom Line

These treats are a good option for horses who enjoy the vanilla and banana flavor, especially during training. However, the inconsistent size and occasional quality issues make them a hit-or-miss purchase. Consider the petite size and lower durability before buying.
