Yes molasses can be used in horse treats, as can most other sweet syrups. However if the treats may be eaten by a horse with Insulin Resistance (IR), Cushing's (PPID), or any other metabolic issue, you should forgo the sweet syrups to avoid triggering a reaction.

Molasses, corn syrup, golden corn syrup, maple syrup, and just about any kind of 'breakfast or pancake' syrup is OK in very limited amounts. Honey is better than syrup. If you need to sweeten a horses feed to get them to eat try added the smallest amount possible around 1 teaspoon, and only go up to 1 tablespoon per ration. You can also try adding spices such as Cumin or Fenugreek to the ration instead. Paprika can darken a black horses coat, but it cannot be used in show horses as it contains capsaicin
