Yes, too many treats - especially ones that contain a large concentration of starch or sugar - can kill a horse. Too many of these treats can potentially cause a horse or pony to founder and/or colic... either of which may be fatal.

What is a treat for horses?

Can feeding a horse sugary treats often give it cavities?
Horses love sugary treats - you might think of Polos at first, but apples contain a lot of natural sugars too! Yes you can give horses sugary treats, but don't overdo it, just like you wouldn't overdo eating too much chocolate! An apple chopped into 1/4s in his/her feed is a good treat, or the occasional Polo (try buying the sugar-free variety). If you give them too many sugary treats then you may not give it cavities but other health problems - make sure it's an occasional thing.Be careful, however, of encouraging bad habits. Feeding by hand can encourage biting in a mouthy horse, and try not to feed over a stable door as this will encourage horses to barge and/or lunge over their doors.

There are many different equine activities they can participate in.
Can horses eat jellybeans?
