Everyday Shine: Why Omega Fatty Acids Matter for Skin, Coat, and Overall Wellbeing
A healthy coat doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s the result of consistent care, balanced nutrition, and supporting the horse from the inside out. During a busy season, when horses are working hard, traveling often, and managing changes in routine, skin and coat health can be one of the first places subtle imbalances start to show.
Omega fatty acids play a quiet but important role in supporting not just shine, but overall wellbeing.
More Than Just a Glossy Coat
A shiny coat is often the most visible sign of good health, but omega fatty acids do far more than improve appearance. Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids support normal inflammatory responses in the body and play key roles in joint health, immune function, nervous system support, and reproductive health.
When horses are competing or training consistently, supporting these systems helps them stay comfortable, resilient, and able to cope with the physical demands of the season.
Why the Ratio Matters
Not all oils are created equal. The balance between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids is especially important, as too much omega 6 without enough omega 3 can work against the body’s natural inflammatory response.
EA Supreme Omega Oil provides an ideal ratio of approximately 3.7 to 1 omega 3 to omega 6 fatty acids. This balance supports overall health while helping horses look and feel their best, without overloading the diet.
High-Quality Oil You Can Trust
EA Supreme Omega Oil is made from high-quality, cold-pressed flax oil that is grown and produced in the UK. Cold pressing helps preserve the natural nutritional profile of the oil, ensuring horses receive the full benefits of the fatty acids without unnecessary processing.
This makes it an easy addition to the daily ration, especially for horses whose diets may otherwise be low in essential fats.
Supporting Horses That Need Extra Calories
EA Supreme Omega Oil also provides a valuable source of additional calories, making it a practical option for horses that need support maintaining weight. This is especially helpful for horses on low-starch diets or those that struggle to hold condition, such as veterans with poor dentition.
By adding calories through oil rather than starch, horses can receive extra energy without increasing excitability or digestive strain.
Skin and Coat Health Through the Season
Dry skin, dull coats, and sensitivity can become more noticeable during periods of stress, travel, or seasonal changes. Supporting skin health from the inside helps maintain a healthy coat, supports skin elasticity, and contributes to overall comfort.
Consistent omega fatty acid supplementation helps keep coats glossy, skin healthy, and horses looking as good as they feel, even as the season progresses.
Confidence in Competition Nutrition
For riders competing under FEI regulations or the Rules of Racing, peace of mind matters. Equine America is BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, helping reduce the risk of prohibited substances and ensuring EA Supreme Omega Oil is suitable for competition horses.
Knowing your horse’s daily nutrition is compliant and carefully produced allows you to focus on training, performance, and care without added concern.
A Simple Addition With Lasting Benefits
Supporting skin, coat, and overall wellbeing doesn’t require complicated changes. EA Supreme Omega Oil offers a simple, effective way to provide essential fatty acids, additional calories, and everyday support that fits seamlessly into a busy routine.
It’s one of those quiet additions that works steadily in the background, helping horses stay comfortable, healthy, and looking their best throughout the season.
