The article had the information I was
looking for.
“By causing a severe
imbalance of too much omega 6 to omega 3, chronic corn oil feeding can create
horses that are more prone to inflammation and allergic diseases."”

I don't recall ever reading anywhere that corn oil can go
rancid in the horse's stomach. There are several online articles about why corn
oil is not the best fat to supplement with, mostly the inflammatory qualities
of the omega 6 fatty acids.
There are many interesting articles on the net about omega 3
& 6 and what the horses need in this respect. Seems they get plenty of 3s
from grasses, but cutting and baling destroys the omega 3 and not the 6, so
then a supplement of 3s is needed for balancing.
