I have been buying Nickers for two years. The last three bags I bought have been terrible. They are dry, broken, and different sizes and shapes, and you end up with a quarter of a bag of tiny pieces, so different from when I first bought them. The quality has really dropped on them. Sad, because they were perfect for training. Now you put them in your pocket and they come out even more broken up.

My horses are all waiting at the gate when they see the Purina bag in my hand. They get quite animated and talkitive, as excited for the Nicker Makers as they are for apples. Great size for a treat and hold together well in my jacket pocket.

I only give treats as a reward for learned behavior Horses love these treats plus i think encourages horses to drink on the trail.

My horses love these! I only give treats to help them stretch or after doing really good under saddle… except this one horse. He is hard to catch! So I make sure to have some in my pockets when I catch him!
