FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:

These recommendations are based on research, science and actual experience with horses for best results. Please contact your veterinarian for more advice on changing feed rations for your horses.

We recommend feeding the seeds dry.

Allow the seeds to absorb water in the digestive tract. As they expand, the soft fibre does incredible work.

Mixing Chia seeds with 1 cup PRE-SOAKED grass or alfalfa pellets makes a tasty “cereal” that horses enjoy.

Chia can be safely fed everyday. We recommend feeding daily 5 to 6 days/week.

DOSAGE:

Feed 1/3 cup (about 57g) for each horse on pasture or maintenance.

Feed 2/3 cup (about 114g) for each horse on dry lot or stalled with hay.

We recommend 2/3 cup dose for young, growing horses, seniors, re-hab horses or competition.
