Coconut Oil is a natural, healthy fat that provides a rich source of calories and steady energy for horses. It is easily digested and doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes like starches or sugars do. The fats in coconut oil are more likely to be used as slow-release fuel rather than stored as body fat. Because it’s calorie-dense it’s great for horses that need extra fuel, such as those in work or needing to maintain condition. However, like any high-calorie supplement feeding too much coconut oil can lead to weight gain. When used thoughtfully and in moderation coconut oil can be a valuable part of a balanced diet, supporting energy levels, coat health and overall wellbeing.
