Actually, I haven’t, so thank you for that tip. Mine loves apples, but does not like peppermint alone, but perhaps he would eat this. Thank you, again.

Thank you OP for posting this- just ordered some to see if it helps my mare

Good point! I hadn’t considered how the size of the dose would affect calorie load. I am reassured to see that you and others are feeding these oils to your easy keepers without ill-effects, because I really do think that there’s good evidence out there for the benefits of Omega-3s in Cushings horses. My mare is in full work so perhaps I should just bite the bullet and give it a shot. The Contribute seems good quality and fairly priced.

The Contribute arrived. If anyone wants it, you may have it for the shipping price to you. It was a GIANT nope for the pony and, to me, it has a “sickly sweet” odor- sort of like Georgio perfume, if anyone remembers that. It was worth a try though.
I may try the EO3 …
My asthma horse eats HorseTech’s Profile, which is flax, chia, and marine DHA with fenugreek flavor. I also wound up making my own when I got a big bag of fishy smelling DHA on its own that he wouldn’t touch, after discovering he would eat Profile. It’s all granulated/ground so easy to feed. Not great for ones they eat a mash as of course all of that turns to goo. Would do ok mixed with not too soupy beet pulp or something of that nature at the last minute.

Thank you for sharing this.
I was feeding flax for years (I tried freshly ground, Triple Crown Golden Flax and even whole flax all in varying amounts) and for one of my horses it never seemed to make a difference with her flaky skin. A few months ago I switched her to the EO-3 and within weeks her flaky skin was completely cleared up and her coat looks much shinier and softer. She’s a smaller horse and I feed just one ounce once a day.

I order EO-3 and, despite UPS throwing the package in the ditch in the pouring rain instead of actually delivering it to me grrrr, and started my mare on it this weekend. I’ve been putting it on her Safe Starch chopped hay and she loves it- fingers crossed it helps

If you still have the Contribute I am interested.
Thanks
I do. I only used 1 dose out of the jug.
Updating this thread to share I tried CocoOmega. My very difficult horse will eat it. The fish oil source says anchovy, as an FYI.

I have been successfully feeding KER EO3 oil to several of my horses -ranging from picky Tb’s , some wb’s and a Friesian …no problems at all with palatability…,I like it for the concentrated amounts of DHA &EPA and significantly lower volume for feeding rate as low as 30mls(1ounce)
