feeding turmeric

[Moon Dancer]

I want to start feeding my horse turmeric but am unsure how much to feed and how much to pepper and coconut oil to feed with it.
any help would be appreciated.

I feed a rounded tablespoon twice a day with about 10 twists of peppermill and about 2 heaped tablespoons of ground linseed to supply the oil. Each horse is different though so its trial and error really. Been on it for over a month now and horse does seem much better, much less stiff behind (he has an old injury) and generally happier.

Thank you for the reply, I just wanted a rough guide as dont want to be giving him too much. Thank you again

I've started mine on it 3 weeks ago and have built up to two heaped tablespoons with 7 turns of black pepper and a good slug of olive oil so it mixes as a good paste. I add a drop of peppermint essence to make it mor palatable and mix it with her morning feed. Mine is quite stiff behind, early arthritis. I haven't sen a real difference yet so may up the dose again.
