Linseed Oil and Omega Oils for Horses: Natural Support from Within
Linseed oil and other omega oils for horses are rich in essential fatty acids, including omega 3, 6, and 9. These fatty acids play an important role in supporting healthy skin, a shiny coat, smooth digestion, and optimal overall condition. They are slowly converted into energy, making them ideal for horses that need extra calories without getting hot.
Why Choose Linseed Oil or Omega Oil?
- Skin and Coat – contributes to a shiny coat and healthy skin.
- Digestion – supports smooth bowel function.
- Energy Supply – provides gradual energy, ideal for sport and recreational horses.
- Resistance and Condition – supports overall vitality, especially during periods with little fresh grass.
- Fatty Acid Balance – the combination of omega 3, 6, and 9 helps to balance the ratio of essential fatty acids in the diet.
Linseed Oil and Omega 3-6-9 in the Diet
Omega 3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, omega 6 supports skin and coat condition, and omega 9 contributes to healthy metabolism. Linseed oil is naturally rich in omega 3, while other vegetable oils are often richer in omega 6 or omega 9. By combining different sources, such as linseed oil or a complete omega 3-6-9 oil, you provide your horse with a broad spectrum of fatty acids.
It is important to choose an oil that contains the correct ratio of Omega 3 and 6, as incorrect ratios can cause inflammatory reactions. The oils in our range contain the correct ratios. Supplementing with linseed oil will make your horse's coat shine and has a positive effect on digestion.
Linseed Oil in Winter for Your Horse
We definitely recommend supplementing your horse with linseed oil in winter. In winter, your horse does not have access to fresh grass and will have a diet richer in grains than in summer. A grain-rich diet can lead to an imbalanced ratio of Omega fatty acids. Grass is rich in Omega 3, while grains are rich in Omega 6. Therefore, in winter, your horse will ingest more Omega 6 fatty acids, which can be rebalanced by supplementing with linseed oil, as linseed oil is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.
Our best-selling linseed oil is also available in a convenient 5-liter packaging. Super handy if you want to give linseed oil to multiple horses.
Usage and Dosage
linseed and omega oils can easily be mixed into the daily feed. The recommended amount usually varies between 30 and 60 ml per day, depending on the weight, needs, and purpose of use.

What is the difference between linseed oil and omega oil for horses?
Linseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant and is naturally rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Omega oil is a collective term for oils containing multiple fatty acids, often in a balanced ratio of omega 3, 6, and 9. While linseed oil primarily provides omega 3, a complete omega oil usually contains a mix of different oils for broader fatty acid support.
Why are omega 3, 6, and 9 important for horses?
Omega 3 – supports overall resistance and helps balance fatty acids in the body.
Omega 6 – contributes to healthy skin and coat condition.
Omega 9 – supports metabolism and energy balance.
A correct ratio of these fatty acids in the diet helps support skin, coat, digestion, and general condition.
When do I choose linseed oil and when for omega 3-6-9 oil?
Linseed oil is ideal if you specifically want to increase omega 3 intake, for example in winter or for horses that get little fresh grass. An omega 3-6-9 oil is suitable if you want to supplement other fatty acids in addition to omega 3, for example for horses with sensitive skin, for an extra shiny coat, or for broad support of overall condition.How do I give linseed or omega oil to my horse?
Both oils can easily be mixed into the daily feed. The recommended amount is usually between 30 and 60 ml per day, depending on the horse's weight, training load, and the purpose of use.Can I give linseed and omega oil year-round?
Yes, both oils are suitable for long-term use. Especially during periods with little fresh grass (e.g., in winter), adding linseed oil or a complete omega oil can help maintain the fatty acid balance and improve coat condition.
