Location: IL | I can get Renew gold ordered in, but it is just to expensive. I want to add whole flaxseed to our horses' diet. I have read good things about it.  |

| Has anyone tried the Omega Horseshine? Also should flaxseed be given to an overweight horse if you are trying to get the weight off? |

Location: Nowhere Land | Im curious if you were to feed real Flax to a horse, milled or unmilled.. what would the dosage be? Does anyone have experience with this? Omegas play a big roll in recovery for horses, and has anti inflammatory properties. All around a great supplement to have your horses on.. however I was wondering about the dosage of real flax... |

Location: IL | I'm going to start feeding whole flaxseed. It's not getting grinded or boiled. It is supposed to be 1 cup a day. You work your way up to a cup. Do not feed more than 1 cup. |

I want to start doing just full seeds as well! I'm tried of paying for stabilized flax that costs so much you can't feed a full cup to the whole barn. |

Location: North Dakota | fyi, my mill grinds (rolls) flax here a couple days a month, I buy a ground flax most of the time (especially in the wintertime). I have always fed it up before it went rancid, I have 5 horses and feed a cup of the ground per day. I also keep my feed in an old freezer for freshness. |

So if you were feeding THE products would you add flaxseed to this, or will it be too much? |

I stopped feeding it myself. If you want some added shine to the coat just add their hair & coat blend. I don't think it would be too much, but I feel it has enough myself. |
