I feed linseed pellets for 20 yrs at my Barn It adds fat content and does make coats gleam To a 50 lb bag of 12% feed I add 5-6 lbs and I add 10 lbs of crimped oats This is the same formula hunterdon uses It will make your horse shine ‘

What is the best way to feed them and do they needs boiling/soaking?! Hi what was the general concensous about these? I have a small section b and have the square lozenge shaped ones, I’ve been giving him a handful in his night feed, does that sound about right? Are they better soaked? Many thanks

Linseed pellets/lozenges/nuts are usually the byproduct of the extraction of oil from linseed so they will have some sort of benefit but not as much as if they'd still had the good stuff in. A handful or so a day probably is about right, no need to soak and they will quickly go rancid in warm weather if you do soak them
You'd be better off buying Micronised/cooked Linseed which is ground and micronized/cooked linseed and is full fat. A sack of cooked linseed would cost you around £20 and last for months, you'd need between an egg cup full (coat condition) up to about a mug full a day (body condition) for a pony nut its lighter in weight than lozenges so you get a lot more for your money

Yes, similar in being a high oil supplement, but made from rice bran and not linseed.

Outshine is a linseed and soya product You may be thinking of Equijewel Sarah, that one is rice bran based - I sell feed and this has a massive loyal following I may add
