Using coconut oil

[Expo]

Sorry if this has been done before but does anyone use coconut oil on their horses as something you apply, as a hair conditioner or anti itch treatment, for example. Or as a feed additive for whatever reason? If so, how do you use it as it's solid at room temperature so not an easy oil to use, but it seems to be the thing of the moment just now with people eating it, putting it on themselves etc etc.

I'm wondering if it might help my lad with his itchy mane.

Thanks all.

i keep a jar handy its good for all sorts of thing relay. for the mane i just massage in strait in. don't use to much to start with as it can get a little clogged up you can all ways add more as you work it in

I use it on their feet and on any scurfy bits.

I have, but mainly for feet - was told it is antibacterial and antifungal. It is solid at room temp though so it needs standing in some warm water to liquefy. Neem oil is better for itchy scurfy manes IMO
