 has very dry skin and the oil in flax seed helps him. The other reason,
 more important, that I feed flax seed to my endurance horse is to
 increase his lysine levels and give him a sane amount of organic fats.
 Lysine combats stress and the fats help with energy. A side effect is
 that flax seed and its oils help with digestive things too. An old
 cowboy recipe, tested twice with great results, is to feed a hot bran
 and boiled flax mix to a horse with mild colic or one who may be in a
 situation to develop that (like trailering a long distance, etc.) The
 gloppy mix is generally devoured and seems to soothe a horse and pass
 along quickly.
