[RC] To Grind or Not to Grind Flaxseed - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Boy I feel like I'm back in school and this is a test. If I remember correctly Susan Garlinghouse said that if you grind it you must feed it immediately because the fatty acids (and/or anti-oxidants?) are highly volatile. I think she said that it would probably work better if you grind it. But then I think she said that she doesn't grind it for her own horses. I was grinding it but burned through two coffee grinders in 3 months. It does put a shine in their coats. Will try a blender or food processor next time. Mmm haven't looked in the manure for seeds. I wonder if the soaking causes the fatty acids (anti-oxidants) to disappear? Mmmm Think I get a C+ on this answer because I can't remember if fatty acids are the same as anti-oxidants. ===========================================================The whole ride experience can be very hard, and at times you question why you put yourself through such abuse. But then you remember all those moments when you pop up over a hill and are suddenly surrounded by the most stunning views. It's just you and your horse and for a moment time stops and you can hear the angels sing. Therein lies the addiction, at least for me. ~ Leslie Beyers ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
