This is a version of the treat in a smaller, more convenient bite: the package contains 10 pieces of 35 g each, and each cookie is handmade. The ingredient list is short and easy to read in full - oats, sunflower seeds, dried apples, and beet syrup, alongside an entry described as postbiotics 5 g, which the manufacturer explains as inactivated yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The sweetness in the name comes from dried apples and beet syrup. The manufacturer states that postbiotics in horse nutrition provide valuable support for gut microflora balance and daily digestive comfort. The recommendation for serving is specific: a maximum of 2 cookies per day, as a reward or encouragement during ground work, grooming, or mounting, and not as part of the horse's dietary ration. The bite size is designed to be served from an open hand. Handmade production has another practical consequence: individual pieces may vary slightly in shape and size, as they do not come from a single industrial mold, and this is a feature of this production, not a defect of the batch.<\/p>\n
List of ingredients in the order provided by the manufacturer:<\/p>\n
A brief list is a real advantage here, as it allows you to read in full what exactly the horse is getting: four ingredients plus a postbiotic, all named directly. In the manufacturer's list, oats are at the top and serve as the base of the treat, dried apples and beet syrup create a sweet profile, sunflower seeds add crunchiness, and the postbiotic closes the list. The same beet syrup is responsible for the tastiness, but it also makes the treat not sugar-neutral \u2014 this is significantly more important for a horse with dietary restrictions than the name on the package, so it's worth reading the list to the end, rather than just glancing at the front of the package. The number 5 g is next to the postbiotic in the list, without indicating whether it refers to one cookie or the entire package.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer's recommendation is a single sentence, and its two parts are worth separating:<\/p>\n
This version is best suited for horses that enjoy a fruity, sweet taste and for those who reward often but in small portions. Thirty-five grams is a bite for one serving, so the daily maximum allows for two distinct reward moments throughout the day \u2014 when working from the ground or learning a new element, it\u2019s easy to split them into two shorter sessions. The brief ingredient list facilitates discussions about diet, as everything in the cookie can be recalled from memory: oats, sunflower seeds, dried apple, beet syrup, and postbiotic. The beet syrup itself enhances tastiness and simultaneously determines that the treat is not sugar-neutral. If the horse has a history of metabolic issues or is on a controlled diet, consider this a reason to discuss with a veterinarian who knows its weight and dietary history, rather than basing decisions solely on the description in the store.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer recommends a maximum of 2 cookies per day and formulates this as a limit, not a suggestion. The treat is supplementary, so it does not replace either bulk feed or any part of the dietary ration. If the horse is on a controlled diet, discuss this portion with a veterinarian before the first serving.<\/p>\n
From dried apples and beet syrup \u2014 both are listed in the ingredient list and both contribute sugars present in the raw material itself. The practical consequence is that the treat is tasty, but it is not sugar-neutral, which matters for horses with dietary restrictions. If the horse has a controlled sugar intake, discuss the treat's serving with a veterinarian.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer describes it as inactivated yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and lists it at the end of the ingredient list with the number 5 g. Therefore, postbiotics are part of the cookie's recipe itself, not an additive added separately at serving. The value is recorded without a reference point - if it is to influence your choice, check it on the packaging before serving.<\/p>\n
By its recipe and flavor profile. This one is based on dried apples and sunflower seeds and provides a fruity taste; the savory version is built around pumpkin, and its full list is on its own page. The oat base, beet syrup, and the presence of postbiotic are common. The package size and daily maximum are the same for both, so you are choosing correctly between the two flavors.<\/p>\n
The savory counterpart of this recipe is salty cookies for horses, and larger bites are horse bars. We have gathered all three items in the category. For animals<\/a>.<\/p>\n More context on the blog: how to read the composition of the intestinal preparation<\/a> and what is known about the gut-brain axis<\/a>.<\/p>\n Do not exceed the daily maximum set by the manufacturer, which is 2 cookies per day. Store the package at a temperature between 15 and 25 \u00b0C, in a dry and dark place, out of reach of animals and children \u2014 a horse that gets into the whole package will eat multiple times the recommended portion. Close the package after each use, as moisture quickly destroys the structure of the cookie. For a sick horse, one on a controlled diet, or one taking medication, make the decision to give the treat after consulting with a veterinarian.<\/p>\n The product is intended solely for animals and does not replace a complete daily ration or veterinary care.<\/p>\n Not sure if this recipe fits your horse's diet or how it differs from the savory version?
