Go around your trees with two layers of chicken wire and fasten it securely. Pine tar and some of those other treatments can poison your horses, and it may not even stop your bored horses from chewing the bark in the first place. Good luck.

Chicken wire sounds like a good idea to me... i wouldn't paint anything on the tree tho...Just let i heal on its own. Prevent your horses getting to the bark in the first place.

Apply plant surgical (pruning compound).
It looks like tar if black but may be in different colour also apply it so insect do not nest and destroy the tree.
To prevent further damage, put a fence high enough.
