I remember reading somewhere that horses shouldn't have chocolate, but that
they weren't as sensitive as dogs to the ?theobromine? that is the
dangerous ingredient.

The Powerbars are so dry I sort of worry about choking, so I've only
offered little chunks. Do the bikers offer your horse a BITE? Granola
bars would be better, but I'd have to like 'em too.
