Omega-3 is an essential nutrient for horses. 

Animals can't make omega-3 in their bodies, so like minerals and protien, they have to get it from food. Approximately 25% of every cell membrane is made from omega-3. It is imortant that enough is consumed to balance other fats in food; only then can animals make the healthy cell membranes that ensure strong bones, muscles and ligaments and a healthy immune system. 

Plant Based Omega-3 is more Natual for Horses Than Cod Liver Oil.

Cod Liver Oil is a source of EPA and DHA  omega-3 fatty acids,  but horses are herbivores and designed to get their omega-3 as ALA (alpha linolenic)  fatty acid, which is the form found in grass and other plants. Cod liver oil comes from fish and is not natural food for horses. The omega-3 in Flax Farm linseed oil is simply the oil gently pressed from the whole linseeds and provides the ALA omega-3 fatty acid horses need. 

Cleaner and Easier than Boiling Linseed

In the old days in order to extract the goodness of the linseeds it was soaked and boiled, to a thick mucilaginous gloop which invariably boiled over and made a terrible mess on the top of the stove.
The omega-3 in the linseed oil is the goodness the horse needs from the linseeds.  Flax Farm cold-pressed Linseed Oil gives you all the goodness of the linseeds in an easier to feed and more digestible form.

For Mental Fitness and Calmness the brain has the highest take-up of omega-3  in the body.  Any imbalance can result in nerviness, excitability and lack of concentration.  In humans this equates to conditions such as ADHD and other mental health problems for which linseed/flax seed oil are regularly prescribed. Many horse owners  report that their animals are calmer and easier  when fed Flax Farm Linseed Oil.
