I've had good luck feeding oil by pouring it onto bran, then
incorporating it into the grain. The bran soaks up the oil so the feed
isn't oily. Word of warning. Oil does break down rubber, so if you use
the Fortex black rubber tubs and are going to feed oil regularly you
need to switch tubs. The rubber after a time will start to dissolve
and the feed and your horses lips will pick it up. Yuck! I learned
this the hard way.

What??? My horses lick their feed buckets clean if I give them corn
oil--and if I spill it on the barn floor, the cats lick THAT clean.
They'd unscrew the lids on the bottles if they could.
