Lucky Chestnut

Most horses can enjoy a few treats a day without any issue. They’re designed to be small rewards, not full meals. Think “a few cookies” rather than “half the bag.” If your horse has a special dietary need (like Cushing’s or EMS), it’s always best to double-check with your vet about daily limits.

Because our treats are dehydrated (with no preservatives beyond a touch of salt), they’re best enjoyed fresh:

Unopened bags: up to 6 months if stored in a cool, dry place. After opening: about 4–6 weeks for peak freshness.

Tips to extend freshness:

- Store opened treats in an airtight container (glass jars, plastic tubs, or even a freezer-safe bag work well).
- Keep them in a cool, dark spot. Heat and light speed up nutrient loss and moisture changes.
- Avoid humid areas if possible. Moisture is what shortens shelf life the fastest.
- For long-term storage, treats freeze beautifully; just portion them into airtight bags, and thaw treats as needed.

We recommend keeping them either in the resealable bag they came in, or another airtight container in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight. This is especially true if you live somewhere where humidity is high!

We like our treats to be as fresh as possible. Orders will be fulfilled within 1-3 business days from the date purchased. Once shipped, you should have your horse treats within another 3-6 days! 

Yes! You can set up a subscription so your horse’s favorite treats show up like clockwork. Subscriptions mean you never run out, you save a little, and your horse gets to look forward to their stash without you lifting a finger (other than opening the bag).

Dogs love our Banana and Carrot treats! Our Alfalfa treats contain a small amount of food-grade peppermint oil, which can be toxic to dogs in large (we're talking LARGE) quantities. Because of this, we don’t recommend feeding our Alfalfa treats to your dog.

We’re dedicated to the happiness of horse people and their horses. If you’re not 100% happy with your purchase, we want to make it right for you! Please email us at howdy@luckychestnut.com at any time with your questions.
