I've used the Curragh Carron oil before. Gives them a really good shine on their coat and I found it gave one of them a boost after she had a heavy course of antibiotics and lost some condition. It's also supposed to be very good for youngsters.
I use the Curragh Carron Oil for my 2yo. Bought him in quite poor condition last June, he has now turned inside out and despite being turned out fulltime with a long winter coat (and it was snowing heavily yesterday!) he has a lovely shine.
Have also used Kentucky oil at work with similar results - have never seen such a good shine on ANY horses in my life.
But how do you get them to eat anything oily? Mine dislike oil added to their feed - I suppose its the horse equivalent of greasy stew- they just turn their noses up and give me evil looks. Wish I could find a way to make oils more palatable. Any suggestions?
Isnt that just simply Linseed oil that theyv'e tried to poshen up?
Looks like simple linseed oil to me. If so I feed boiled linseed all the time ( much cheaper) and it gives them an amazing coat and seems to put on condition. Its great for joints/digestion as well.
I use Curragh Carron oil and find that it gives a really good shine to thier coat (even winter coats). Its not overly expensive and its the only supplement I feed.
I use last 3 years Forans Kentucky Karron Oil when need little bit more energy and gleaming coat. Can't say a bad word about it. My horse is ultra good doer, but Karron Oil doesn't give any additional weight, also very small quantities to feed = cost effective.
