Ask the Vet Video on Chia and Flaxseed for Horses

Updated June 30, 2025

In this Ask the Vet video, Dr. Lydia Gray and SmartPaker Dan discuss whether or not you should be feeding flaxseed or chia seed to your horse. The short answer is pretty simple (YES!), but the two also explain how to prepare feed with chia or flaxseed, why you would feed these to your horse, how much to give, and how Dr. Gray’s barn handles their flax before feeding time.
