Grooming is essential for keeping your horse’s coat healthy and shiny, but the secret to a truly radiant coat lies in optimal nutrition! Regular grooming helps remove dirt, dead skin, and improves circulation, but without the right balance of nutrients, a dull and thin mane or hair coat may result. The right balance of chelated minerals such as copper, zinc, iron, and sulfur-containing amino acids like methionine and cysteine will help ensure strong keratin fibers and coat pigmentation. Essential fatty acids such as Omega 3, Vitamin A, and E also facilitate a high-gloss coat! Please be aware that Omega 3 levels vary with different oils, and a great and economical source is flax oil.
