It helps with a number of things (supposedly)
Helps with flies,
Breathing,
Blood pumping round body,
And apparently the immune system

I'm alergic to it. Even going to my tack shop brings my lips up all puffy. I have heard its good. I was once donated loads and it made me realy ill haveing it in the car, i had to offload it as quick as possible. Potent stuff. I have heard it is good though.

Garlic is amazing stuff, it does help to keep flies off and helps with the respiratory system. We also use it to wash cuts and grazes, along with salt. It helps to promote healing and also appears to stop the hair going white on the scar area.

Take great care with garlic in feed. New research suggests it can cause stomach ulcers and exacerbate inflammatory conditions. I've said this before and am gonna say it again, a horse is a mammal - so are we. Think long and hard before you start putting anything INto or ONto a horse's body whether you would put it IN or ON your own. If you had a cut, would you wash it in garlic???

 

[YorksG]

Yes I would and yes I do.

Yes it stings, but it promotes healing and reduces infection.

I have always put garlic into Buddys feed, hasnt done him any harm and he loves it!

they say garlic helps with flies and respitiary tract and a blood tonic but like box of frogs say yes it has been fed for years you can say it has never done your horse any harm how can you see whats going on in side? just buy food with it in if you want then you know you are not given to much or to little!@
