How to Feed Equine Oil As a Fat Supplement

Adding oil to your horse's diet can provide a host of health benefits, including producing a shinier coat and increasing the amount of fat in the diet. If you are planning to show your horse, adding a tablespoon of corn oil, soybean oil or safflower oil can give him the shiny healthy coat the judges are looking for. But even if your horse is not a show horse, you can enhance the health of your equine companion by adding a dollop of oil to his daily diet.
