"My horse loves these and ever since I started her on them she won’t take any other treats."

β€” Dawn

"My horse won’t touch them. I bought dimples horse pockets and he loved them. These were a better price point However my horse refuses to eat them. Also no pocket to put a pill in. I had to microwave them to make them soft enough to put a pill in because they were hard."

If you're looking for a highly palatable treat that doubles as a pill pocket, Uncle Jimmy's Squeezy Buns are a great choice, especially for horses that are picky eaters.
