FAQ

What is soya oil good for in horses?

Soya oil is primarily used as a conditioning supplement to support coat shine, healthy skin and weight gain. It is a rich source of Omega 6 fatty acids and provides a highly digestible, non-heating source of calories — making it ideal for horses that need condition without added excitability.

How does soya oil compare to linseed oil?

Soya oil is higher in Omega 6 fatty acids, while linseed oil is higher in Omega 3. Both are useful conditioning oils, but linseed oil has a better Omega 3:6 ratio which is considered more anti-inflammatory. Soya oil is a cost-effective option for general conditioning and coat support, and can be used alongside linseed oil for a more balanced fatty acid profile.

How much should I feed?

A typical starting dose is 50–100ml per day, gradually increased to up to 200–250ml per day for horses needing significant conditioning. Introduce slowly over 1–2 weeks to allow the digestive system to adjust. Follow the feeding guide on the container.

Will it make my horse fizzy?

No — oil is a non-heating energy source. Unlike cereal-based feeds, it provides calories without the excitability associated with high-starch diets, making it suitable for horses that need condition without added energy.

Can I feed it alongside other oils?

Yes — soya oil can be fed alongside other oils such as linseed or Optimum Oil to create a more balanced fatty acid profile. Monitor total oil intake and introduce any changes gradually.
