Linseed, outshine or rice bran(

[Vickijay]

Good morning!

Due to a nationwide shortage of copra I'm having to change my feeds

My 2 horses hot up very easily so want to go with one of those options to be added to their feed (which is now pure condition) and wondered what everyone thought was best. They are barefoot too.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Linseed is what i use, Madams never looked so good coming out of winter when our grazing is non existent!

I wouldn't waste my money on Outshine. Yes, you do get good results with it but there are plenty of cheaper ways of getting the same result.

I favour micronised linseed (I get mine from John Chapman at Graven Horse Feeds - much cheaper than Charnwood).

I like outshine, easy to use! Has really picked up my cob, he isn't all that keen on it though tbh! He may have a bit more energy it's hard to judge, but he's by no means now sharp

Linseed or Omega Rice which is linseed and rice bran combined. I feed linseed al year round and add OR in winter if they drop off. All also barefoot.

Linseed for me. Tried Outshine, very expensive and I didn't find as good as linseed.

I feed linseed, both mares live out - and ppl comment on how good they look, so I guess it works?!
I pay 20 quid a bag, which lasts 2 months for 2..

Outshine. it outshines thew competition by a long way (sorry!). Its an excellent product and contains other oils as well as linseed .

I'd opt for omega rice - linseed and rice bran pellet

linseed and soaked oats.

I'm an outshine fan but have also had good results with linseed previously.

I buy the charnwood milling brand - they sell it my local feed store. Twenty pound for 20kg!

I tried Outshine last year, but now buy micronised linseed as it's much cheaper with the same results.

I've tried numerous things but always go back to linseed. Never hots up my extremely sensitive,sharp TB & keeps weight on him plus lovely shine. Equijewell sent him nuts but bizarrely he was ok on the Falcon feeds Omega rice but I had to order that in & he looked no better on it than the linseed. I think outshine is just an expensive way of feeding linseed & soya? I tried adding on soya as well a couple of winters ago as a local shop sell bags of that cheaply but again found it didn't make any noticeable differance. This year I tried the thunderbrook feeds stuff that got hemp & rice bran & other oil based stuff in but again he looked no better on that than good old linseed! Used the thunderbrook stuff up & just got linseed in again.

I use a slosh of linseed oil from Mole Valley Farmers
