A horse treat company just issued a warning that they aren’t intended for humans, so could everybody please stop eating them

This whole phenomenon kicked off back in October when TikToker Gracie, who is a certified “horse girl,” posted footage of herself trying a Likit treat before giving it to her equine friend, Spirit.

The apple flavor, however, was apparently a winner for both her and Spirit, and the trend spread like wildfire.
