My gelding has been battling dry skin and I'm fed up!
He is on 1.5lbs Gro n Win
3oz Cool calories
10lbs hay
I don't know what to do about the dry skin. Its driving me crazy. With winter coming up I'm TERRIFIED he's going to rub his tail(finally got a good 3 inches of growth over his bald spot)
I've heard flax seed and black oil sunflower. Anyone have greater success with one over the other.
I don't want to use vegetable oil a "coat supplement" I'm looking for something natural. If there's a natural supplement cool I'm game to try it. But I try very hard to keep his startch/sugar intake down to a minimum. He doesn't do well on oats/corn he turns from a deadbroke can be ridden by 3 year olds paint to some psycho dances in crossties bucks at a canter monster.
Help?
I'm beginning to doubt his feed. I need a bag Monday... I'm planning on asking the nutrition expert there but I have a feeling she's going to try and sell me another feed. -_-
I'm also trying to keep his volume of feed to a minimum...hence not wanting another feed to add to it.
