[RC] Flax seed to grind... - beth gloverHi! I was grinding my flax seed for a time, in the coffee grinder. It smells so good that we wound up eating a lot of it ourselves, in oatmeal, in cookies...I digress. It got to be a pain in the neck to be grinding it all the time, so we started to toss it into the beetpulp/water in the morning. By afternoon when I feed, its really gelatinous and we stir it around. The horses eat it readily, and their coats are very shiny on this regimen. I believe that this method is working well. I keep it out of the hot sun, so it doesn't start to get spoiled. I am not sure of what the nutritional breakdown is, but if Susan Garlinghouse happens to read this, I had a question too, and that was about flax seed as a source of fat. Is it? I'm hoping to boost the calories on my two skinnies. We've been cutting back on flax before long hard rides for a few days, and don't feed it at the rides. ( Except for the retired race Thoroughbred who always gets flax, every day even Mother's day, and thinks he is Secretariat right now) Beth ( dang, you could probably make Flax seed beer...Howard??)
