Manna Pro Simply Flax for Horses | Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Flaxseed | 8 Pounds

This was recommended by Vet for my horse. She had brittle, chipping hooves.I’ve been using it for 1year with good results also contributes to shiny coat.. Horses readily eat it.

My mare is PSSM1 so she needs a lot of fat for energy (not sugar nor carbs). Flaxseed is the best, but living in Tucson, oil spoils quickly out in the barn. I switched to these pellets (I give 4 scoops a day, double the average dose), but it works great for my 18 yo mare that I use for work as a wrangler. Just add the flaxseed to her other supplements. Great coat, and can keep up fine with younger horses.

Excellent for fly and gnat bite sensitivity. 1,000 lb horse receives 6 oz daily in mash of water-soaked hay pellets plus minerals, added 1/3 c bran to start to overcome the "gummy-ness" of the flax, which I read can help prevent colic. He LOVES his mash. Sweet Itch is gone, crazy biting/stomping at flies is gone - no skin reactions this summer. Used daily for 5 months now and will continue year-round. His coat is super shiny and currying releases dead hairs quickly. Emailed MannaPro about high-heat storage concerns; my Keter tack box faces San Diego's sunny south. I bag daily rations and store 1 week's worth at a time on-site, in a double-walled play-mate type cooler, as was recommended, inside the Keter. No spoilage encountered and it has been consistently 100+ degrees where I board.

My mare's coat looked shinier, and she seemed to have a little bit more get up and go. She shed out faster in the spring then she had in previous years.

This has been a great supplement for gut health of my horse.
