Linseed oil

[starryeyed]

I don't know much (at all!) about the many different oils that are available, but have noticed that a lot of people feed their horses linseed oil - I was just wondering what the benefits of it are? - as it does seem very popular! Thank you x

I feed micronised linseed - far less mess than oil. Linseed promotes a good healthy coat and skin, is good for hooves, good for digestion and good for joints. It can be used for condition.

Thank you - does sound like wonderful stuff, I think I may be buying some of this for her ladyship!

I agree with theresa the micronised is easier. I use it for hooves and condition. Its great for horses that need condition without the fizz. A bag from charnwood milling works out at about twenty five quid with postage but it lasts sooooooo long.
