Linseed question

[Happytohack]

Is it heating? Friend recently told me that if her horses get a bit full of themselves, she cuts the linseed out of their diets as it is so heating.

I have not had a problem - I feed instant linseed but have heard that like any conditioning feed it can have a heating effect on some horses.

I use it for coats and joints rather than weight gain so don't feed a huge amount.

Cairo is more forward going since being on it - but I put this down to him being so more supple and less stiff than it being heating.

No not heating. I feed it to my TB mare and if anyone could explode it would be her.
