I feed my horse micronised Barley and have done for a year or so as it helps contribute towards maintaining his weight.
However where I work (and have done for a few months) all the horses get boiled barley. We boil it in a huge coldren thing. 1 sack of whole barley and 2 scoops of linseed then share it between the horses. They get it every day. All the horses get the same (they also get 1 scoop of mix) and they seem to do really well. All are good weight and have really really shiney coats.
So what are the benefits? Does it help keep the coat in good condition? (I know that will be partly down to the linseed), and do you think I should swap Barons to boiled?
And also I thought linseed was not supposed to be fed on a daily basis, or is that old school or does it depend how much is fed?
