| I've used vegetable oil and canola oil on and off for 10 years and never really saw any impressive results so I am looking for a better oil even though I know its much more expensive. Has anyone used Cocosoya oil? DAC oil? Healthy Coat oil? Triple Crown Rice Bran oil? |

Location: Central California | I have been using DAC OIL and DAC ORANGE for over 2 years. Love both products. The Oil will put weight on one for sure and their coat is beautiful. I buy the big 5 gal pale of the oil and the pump that goes with it. Each horse gets one pump twice a day. |

Location: Stephenville, TX | Love cocosoya and its reasonable. My hard keepers coats have turned a shade darker and shiny, they have weight in places they have never had it. People have been asking me what I feed. I've used rice bran before for colts and a pssm horse and had good results but now I give the pssm one low starch total equine and cocosoya with good results. |

Thank you. The DAC Orange is a complete vitamin/mineral supplement right? I have read nothing but good things about DAC oil. |

I have not looked at the lables on either as close as I have my other feed, but from what my friend tells me the two are basically the same except the Dac Oil has more fat which puts the weight on and the Orange is the complete vitamin. What I have done in the last 3 months is change up my feed program to help those who are in need of weight and those who really need to drop a few pounds, plus I suspect I have at least one who is mild PSSM. So every one is now on 10 pounds of alfalfa cubes twice a day then each one gets around a 1 1/2 pounds of Senior Stable Mix added to that morning and night. At night I add 2 pounds of Nutrena Safe Choice Special Care.
The hard keepers get one pump of oil twice a day, the easy keepers one pump once a day.
After reading the lables on both the Nutrena and Stable Mix and doing the math so to speak I have not added any other vitamins to my program. As it turns out my cost is a little higher than I thought it would be, 5 horses is costing me right at $600 a month. But I have no waisted hay and everyone is looking great and acting even better. My problem PSSM horse is doing so much better than he was. |

Wow, lots of votes for Healthy Coat! The reason I haven't already bought a jug is that the ingredients show a mixture of soybean oil and some others and I sure wouldn't want to be paying $22 per gallon for soybean oil that I can buy as vegetable oil at Walmart for $7 per gallon. Comments on this? |

| And here is the guaranteed analysis for the DAC oil....I just realized it has corn oil and soybean oil in it too. I want to give DAC Oil or Healthy Coat a shot but I want to make sure I'm not just buying really expensive corn and vegetable oil.

I have used Healthy Coat for 10 years nows, the difference to me is the vegtable oils on the self in the store have all been bleached and refined, notice the light color of them. Healthy Coat is expellar pressed so you have the oil in it's most natural state and the essential fatty acids are intack. I liken most oils on a grocery store shelf to white bread, it has been bleached, refined and had stuff added back to it to make it
somewhat healthy for you. |

Thank you Dixie Rules! I will probably be trying a jug of each of Healthy Coat and DAC but wanted to make sure others have had good results with it and I wasn't just buying overpriced plain ole vegetable oil with a few fillers. So it looks like there really is a difference in the soybean oil at Walmart and the soybean oil in Healthy Coat and DAC. Thanks so much everyone! |

I can't use Healthy Coat. It draws ants into the stalls in horror movie numbers. They even find the jug in the barn and march up and down to the cap.
It's like a giant magnet and the ants are metal shavings. |

Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | The best thing I ever did for my horses' coat and overall appearance was switch to Nutrena Safe Choice. I have always taken great pride in my horses' appearance and health, but Safe Choice took them to a new level. (I have owned horses for 45 years.) Hair coat, hooves, mane/tail....overall appearance and it takes very little to maintain weight. |

| Soybean oil has put weight on my guy and he's got a beautiful fluffy/shiny coat. $20 for a 5 gallon jug - cheap with great results. I put a half cup in with his scoop of grain. |

I am a FAN of cool calories. I mainly use it for one horse. She is a BIG girl and it takes WAY more feed to keep her looking good than it does anyone else. She is just bigger. I didn't want to make her eat a ton of grain (for one thing she won't) and I do feed her alfalfa hay but I needed something else. This is cheap and it works and she doesn't get hot on it nor do I have to worry abou ther getting hot on it.
Every once in a while if the weather goes funky or whatever and I have a horse that loses a few more pounds than I am comfortable wtih, I will feed a weeks worth of it to them and they bounce right back.
Love this product!
PS-I have fed vegetable oil in the past and I don't think there is a comparison. I get immediate results with Cool Calories and IMO better than the oil. |

I fed them for a while and didn't really see a difference although I did have a really cool looking pasture with sunflowers popping up everywhere in manure piles, lol. |
