Whisper Says: These are DELICIOUS! I got to try out four different flavors: peppermint, oatmeal molasses, apples and carrots, and pumpkin. I loved them all and would immediately eat as many as my mom would give me. This is the first time I've ever tried pumpkin-flavor anything, and I liked it a lot. Mom even convinced me to let her share some with my friends to see how they liked them. They all agreed with me: These treats are good and are to be eaten immediately.

Paige Says: All four flavors of these treats were a big hit in our barn. Whisper let me know right away what she thought of the Pocket Pony Horse Treats - delicious - and she got to sample all four flavors multiple times.

In hopes of performing a true taste test, I also gave the four other residents of the barn samples of each flavor, and not a single horse turned a nose away or even ate slowly. The treats were definitely a hit as far as taste goes.

I took a look at the ingredients labels, and they're very impressive. I can read, pronounce, and recognize every ingredient in the treats, and none of them have any sugar added (unless you count the molasses of the Oat and Molasses treats, but I don't). The treats are conveniently sized so that they can easily slip into your pocket, and they're cute shapes - flowers and leaves. I much prefer the shapes and sizes of these treats to some of the larger nugget or wafer treats, since I've had horses choke on those. The Pocket Pony treats are dry, firm enough to carry around in your pocket without having them crumble or break apart, and they're not sticky at all, which I definitely appreciate.

The treats were packaged in conveniently sized containers, and the 2-ounce size package is perfect and would last Whisper about two weeks (I feed 2 or so treats a day). I did have a package that had opened up during shipping, but Whisper didn't mind and the treats were none the worse for wear.

Whisper Says: I adore these treats. I might be a little biased because I also LOVE candy canes, but when my annual Christmas candy cane supply ran out this year, I was delighted to have these treats as a backup. I would eat the whole bag in one sitting if my mom would let me.

Paige Says: Whisper loves peppermint, and these treats offer a great way to give her that flavor without the added sugar. The treats are small, which can be good or bad. They’re the perfect size to use as rewards if you treat when training. If you hand feed, they’re a little difficult for even the agile-lipped Whisper to pick up off of my palm. Still, they’re hard and don’t fall apart quickly, so slipping them into your pocket is no big issue. They’re also too small to pose a choking hazard to your average horse. And you can’t beat the price or the value – I think these treats by Buckeye Nutrition are great.
