Any generic feed supplements produced from seaweed or kelp for coat conditioning and hair growth.
According to Horse-Advice.com:
“In the Orkney Islands, off the mainland of Scotland, it was noticed that sheep grazing on seaweed were generally in better overall condition and had more resistance to illness, especially coughs and respiratory problems such as COPD and SPAOD. This led to the development of specialised feed additives based on sea weed and kelp.
It appears that the reason seaweed and kelp may benefit horses and ponies is in both the combination of nutrients and the content of Algin.
It is the iodine content of the seaweeds and kelp used in an equine supplement that is most important.”
“I have used seaweed for two weeks now after someone tried it for hair growth and coat conditioning. Not that my mare needed coat conditioning, but needed hair growth, very thin mane due to rubbing, and oh my goodness, with two weeks of using it her mane and tail have got thicker. I also used it on my little hackney pony who has always had this tail and the difference is incredible. I would really recommend it. Great stuff.”
