Jr. Detective Location: Beggs, OK	Purely on the results I've seen and Omega 3 & 6 ratios..Flax is hands down much better than Rice Bran. Here's an article that goes along with everything else I've read about both: http://www.themanestreet.com/authors/melyniworth/asktheexpert/flaxvsricebran.htm Edited by rachellyn80 2015-10-13 10:38 AM

Saint Stacey	Flax for the reasons already stated. Plus the fact that bran (no matter the source) is a type of diuretic. Some horses can have issues with that.

Expert Posts: 1207	Guess I should have made myself clearer. As I have 2 horses that do not need it for weight gain and one horse who does. Thanks for the article as it did make it clearer. Just trying not to feed what I really do not need to feed. I am trying to put weight on one and take weight off the other two. The other two need exercise I know as do I.

Flax is high in omega 3's unlike every other grain horses eat, so it's fabulous for balancing out omega 3/6 ratios. It's also great for adding shine. You can't feed that much of it though, usually only 1/2-1 cup a day so if you're trying to put weight on one, rice bran is better for that. Personally I like Renew Gold because it's the same price as a bag of rice bran at my local TSC but in addition to the rice bran also has flax and coconut. I still add another flax supplement though because my horse gets hay only, no fresh pasture, and needs the extra omega 3's to help balance him out.
