Omega 3 Nutrition for Horses
“We're excited about Chia and we think you will be too! Chia seed has revolutionized the feeding program at our farm. We've seen cranky mares get hormone balanced, rehab horses gain healthy weight and shiny coats and we've eliminated hard to feed psyllium products. Since we started feeding Chia seed, we've had zero issues of sand colic. All our horses, every age and breed, benefit from this incredible seed. It's very easy to feed and store. It doesn't go rancid quickly. We're delighted to find a solution that meets multiple nutrition needs for horses. Highly recommend! Amazing ChiaChia is a remarkable oil seed, containing 32-39% oil, high in the magic Omega's. Even more important is the crucial balance of 3 times more Omega 3 than Omega 6 in Chia. Chia is a better source than Flax because of its own inherent antioxidants, which keep the oils from going rancid. No need to chemically stabilize like flax. Chia does not require fresh grinding. Chia seeds are 100 percent digestible, safe to feed daily, and completely organic! No pesticides needed for growing. Chia is a member of the mint family, so insects leave it alone. The Omega 3 oil and magnesium, plus the correct balance of calcium to phosphorus in Chia seeds reduces inflammation. It brings balance to hormonal mares. The digestive properties of the gelatinous (water absorbing) seeds stimulates the gut, removes debris and helps avoid impaction naturally. No more forced monthly psyllium purges at our farm. We live in desert country with loamy sandy soil. Chia has solved the feeding dilemmas for all ages and needs of horses at our farm.
