Alternative to oils (for skin)

[Foxford]

My horses' coat seems to benefit from a splash of corn oil in his feed. I was wondering if he starts to pile on the weight over summer is there anything else I could replace it with? He gets about half a tablespoon with his lo-cal balancer and chaff, so not excessive at all.
Any thoughts appreciated!

Aloe vera, it also really helps with digestion and seems to speed up healing.

where do you buy it from??

You can get it from www.aloequine.co.uk is cheaper than from health food shops - there are other online shops this is the one I use.

Is half a tablespoon of oil going to make that much difference in the overall scheme of things?

Having nursed my previous horse with laminitis for 4 months - I'd rather be on the safe side.

I'll give the aloe vera a try then. Unfortunately my horse has naturally quite dry skin, so it should help - Thanks!
