Feeding for shiny coat for showing?

[rubyrumba]

Last year i gave the yearlings baileys outshine but micronised linseed was suggested to me and i was advised that this was better than outshine?
What do you all feed for outstanding coat shine?

Outshine

there are cheaper things out there but outshine has also worked for my two to keep their coats good.

Boiled linseed on the inside and never ending elbow grease on the outside

. My Grandad used to feed orange peel to get shiney coats and for some reason it worked

Mine gets a handful of happy hoof and half a handful of cool mix. With my TB I used to add a glob of oil, but Genie doesn't need it. Then a good bath before a show and we're away!

I use "Summer Shine / Winter Glow" I think its global herbs but i am having a blonde moment..... But my mare has a fab shinny coat, even now and she is unclipped and living out!

Hilton Herbs "thrive and shine" is another good one.

Linseed Oil - its why my boy is the shinest on the yard

Drag is on Codlavine, (spelt that wrong i'm sure) works a treat and not at all pricey!

Ours get lots of Vegetable oil, much cheaper than Linseed and they are also fed Seaquim Elite which is a seaweed supplement. They had shiny coats anyway from the oil as they are show horses, but the seaweed moved it on to a whole other level.
It's about 25 euro for a 20kg bag and my lot get a (measured because it's not good to overdose it) cupful of it once a day so it lasts for ages. Can't recommend it enough.

A TB on my yard is on Copra, that coconutty soaked mash feed from Australia, which is high in fat and used to keep the weight on poor doers. It gives him a gorgeous coat, not only shiny but so soft as well! Everything takes twice as long with him, because I can't go in his stable without stopping for a cuddle.

Good quality feed plus good glug of corn oil

you need to rug very very well too

Veg oil in their feeds.

nothing so shiny as a horse fed seaweed!

 

[Maesfen]

Brewers Yeast, nothing like it and it's good for feet too plus a mild calmer; it's got the lot!

 

[guisbrogal]

A good big handful of black sunflower seeds in their feed = lovely and Shiney horse!

 

[immybrookstud]

we feed linseed and soya oil

i use simple systems feeds!! there brilliant google them.they do instant linseed in a meal form.my racehorse has been on it and its amazing!! she is gleaming after a 8kg bag that cost £14 and lasted 2 months! its all natural and registerd with the vegan society so no harsh toxic by products that are in conventional feeding supplaments.i highly reccomend them.

another vote for Outshine - my filly has not been rugged at all this winter and has a thick hairy coat which is still lovely and soft and gleaming.

I've always fed baileys conditioning mix and then boiled my own linseed for 20 mins in the microwave .

Good quality hay or haylage also helps .

At the minute madam is on nothing but good haylage and a small handful of cool mix and she shines like an otter .
