Pocket-Sized Apple Flavor Training Treats with Added Vitamins and Minerals for Horses
Product Description
Manna Pro Apple Bite-Sized Nuggets are pocket-sized horse treats for training, rewarding, stretching, and bonding. Built on a base of wheat middlings, soybean hulls, cane molasses, dehydrated alfalfa meal, and linseed meal, these nuggets are fortified with a full range of minerals and vitamins, including vitamins D3, A, and E, alongside key minerals copper, zinc, and selenium. The apple flavor is created using fenugreek seed and natural and artificial flavoring.
Benefits
- Apple Flavor Horses Love: The apple flavoring created with fenugreek seed and natural and artificial flavor produces a taste that most horses find immediately and consistently appealing.
- Pocket-Sized for Training: Each nugget fits easily in a pocket or treat bag, making them a convenient size for quick rewards during training, stretching, grooming, and bonding sessions.
- Fortified with Vitamins and Minerals: Added vitamins A, D3, and E alongside copper, zinc, and selenium mean these contribute a genuine nutritional benefit with every treat given.
- Will Not Imbalance the Normal Ration: When fed within the daily limit, these nuggets are formulated to complement rather than disrupt the horse's existing feed ration.

How to Use
Directions for Use
- Feed a few at a time: Give a small handful of nuggets as a treat or reward; do not place a full bag in front of the horse for free-choice eating.
- Do not exceed 2 lbs per day: Feed no more than 2 lbs per horse per day regardless of size or activity level; overfeeding treats can disrupt the normal feed ration.
- Use in training and stretching: Hand-feed nuggets during training repetitions, stretches, and grooming sessions to reinforce positive behavior and build consistent trust with your horse.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Contains supplemental copper: This product contains supplemental copper; avoid feeding to sheep or other copper-sensitive species under any circumstances.
- Not for horses with dental issues: These are not recommended for horses that do not chew adequately due to dental problems; consult your veterinarian before feeding if this applies.
- Feed as a treat, not a meal: These nuggets are a supplemental treat and are not a complete feed; always provide a balanced primary ration appropriate for the horse's age and workload.
Storage Information
- Cool and dry location: Store in a cool area away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to maintain the freshness of the nuggets between uses.
- Keep away from insects and rodents: The grain and molasses content attracts pests; store in a sealed, pest-proof container or location between uses.
- Reseal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to keep air and moisture out and maintain nugget freshness throughout the bag.
- Feed is perishable: Check the best-by date before use and do not stockpile more than can be used within a reasonable timeframe to keep the treats palatable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What creates the apple flavor in these nuggets?
Ans: The apple flavor is created using fenugreek seed, a legume with a distinctive sweet aroma that horses find appealing, alongside natural and artificial flavoring. Fenugreek seed is a common palatability ingredient in equine treats and works together with the flavoring to produce the apple taste horses respond to.
Q2: How many nuggets are in each bag?
Ans: The 1 lb bag contains more than 80 individual nuggets. The 4 lb bag contains more than 300, making it the more practical option for horse owners who use treats daily or across multiple horses for extended training programs and regular rewarding sessions.
Q3: Can these be given to ponies and miniature horses?
Ans: Yes. These treats are suitable for horses, ponies, and minis of all breeds and sizes. For smaller animals, reduce the daily amount proportionally based on body weight. The 2 lb daily maximum applies to full-sized horses, ponies and minis should receive much smaller daily amounts accordingly.
Q4: Will these treats affect my horse's normal diet?
Ans: No, when fed as directed. It is clearly stated that these will not imbalance the normal ration when given within the 2 lb daily limit. They are designed to complement the existing feed program. Keep the daily amount within a reasonable proportion of the total diet and do not substitute treats for regular feed.
Q5: Why should sheep not be given these treats?
Ans: This product has supplemental copper. Sheep and certain other ruminants are highly sensitive to copper and can develop copper toxicity even from amounts that are normal and safe for horses. Keep this product away from sheep and other copper-sensitive species at all times, regardless of how small the amount given.
Q6: Are these treats suitable for competition horses?
Ans: These are grain and alfalfa-based treats fortified with standard vitamins and minerals and contain no prohibited performance-enhancing substances. Always verify with the specific governing body or competition rules before use at sanctioned events, as regulations vary between disciplines and organizations and can change periodically.
