Understanding the Problem: Signs Your Horse Needs Omega Support
Dull Coat, Dry Skin, and Hoof Problems
A lacklustre coat or brittle hooves often signals insufficient omega-3 intake.
“Within 2 weeks, my horse’s coat was shinier and softer… my bay colour seemed richer.” – Verified Owner ([Testimonials])
Joint Stiffness and Slow Recovery
Signs include stiffness, sluggishness, soreness after work, or difficulty maintaining condition. Omega-3s help modulate inflammation, aiding recovery and flexibility.
Gut Health, Allergies, and Mood Changes
Digestive upset, allergies, or cranky behaviour can result from systemic inflammation. Omega supplementation supports microbiome stability and calmer focus.
How Omega‑3s and Omega‑6s Work for Horses
Omega‑3s (EPA, DHA, ALA) and omega‑6s (linoleic acid) regulate inflammation, immunity, and metabolism. The correct ratio prevents inflammatory overload and supports cell repair.
Most grain‑based equine diets oversupply omega‑6s, creating imbalance. Southern Equine Distributing specializes in restoring this balance with marine‑sourced omega‑3 formulations.
