Horse Skin and Coat Science

Healthy Skin and Coat Horse Supplement

Healthy Skin and a Shiny Coat are more than just signs of a well-groomed Horse.

Your horse’s skin and coat form an important protective barrier against bacteria and infections.

One of the key elements to support skin cell health and produce a “show ring shine” is feeding a high quality, stabilized flax meal high in essential fatty acids (EFAs).

The horse’s body does not produce EFAs, such as Omega 3s and Omega 6s; they must be provided through the diet. Flax meal contains one of the highest concentrations of EFAs with the correct ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 and is important for various metabolic processes, especially the regulation of inflammatory markers.

Horse Skin & Coat FAQ

For a long time, riders fed corn oil for a hearty serving of fat. Fat will make your horse shiny, but it is so important to choose the right kind of fat. Omega 3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory, while Omega 6 is pro-inflammatory. Corn oil is very high in Omega 6 fatty acids, which can put the body in a chronic state of inflammation and create a negative impact on cellular health throughout the body.
All Grand Meadows products, including our healthy skin and coat horse supplements, contain ideal levels and ratios of Omega 3 and 6, which are between .75 and 1.
  • Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids: Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids prevent moisture loss in skin cells that lead to dry and flaky skin. Omega 3 helps control skin inflammation and gives coats a bright, glossy appearance.
  • Biotin: Biotin is an essential requirement for the health of dermal and connective tissues.
  • Heat-Stabilized Flax Meal: This is a digestible source of flax meal, high in Omega 3, that will support the structure and function of skin cells. Normal flax meal has a very short shelf life and can quickly turn rancid, particularly in the Summer. We use a special heat-stabilized flax meal that has a 2-year shelf life.
  • Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product: • Dried Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Postbiotic Fermentation Product: An essential and unique component in our healthy skin and coat horse supplement, it is a true, fully fermented prebiotic yeast culture that supplies a potent combination of nutrients to support effective digestive function and enhances nutrient absorption in both the small and large intestine. Remove phospholipids, a vital requirement for supporting healthy skin and deeper improved coat color.
  • Lecithin contains phospholipids, a vital requirement for our healthy skin and coat horse supplement, and supports healthy skin and deeper, improved coat color.
