A dull, flaky coat and brittle, cracking hooves are rarely just a grooming problem. More often they are signals that a horse is missing the fatty acids its body needs to build healthy skin, hair, and hoof horn from the inside out.
Unlike powders and pellets that lose nutritional value during high-heat manufacturing, HealthyCoat is processed without heat so the delicate fatty acids and vitamins survive all the way into the feed pan. It pours as an apple-flavored liquid that you top-dress over a horse's normal ration, evening out feed textures and improving palatability for picky eaters along the way.
HealthyCoat is fortified with naturally occurring vitamin E, lecithin, and biotin, and it is rich in the two fatty acids that matter most for visible condition. Each pound carries a minimum of 50% linoleic acid (omega-6) and 7% linolenic acid (omega-3), with crude fat at a minimum of 98%. That concentration is why owners report a glossy, blooming haircoat, calmer and more comfortable skin, and steadier hoof growth after a few weeks of daily feeding.
The benefits reach past the surface. The same fatty acids that brighten a coat also support healthy joints, aid digestion and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, and help horses hold condition and energy through hard work or a harsh winter. For horses prone to dry skin or seasonal allergies, the added omega-3 load helps the skin barrier do its job.
Feeding is simple. Shake the bottle gently, then top-dress the liquid over your horse's regular feed, starting gradually at 1 to 4 ounces per day for an average adult horse. Horses in heavy work, or those with difficult skin and coat needs, can be fed up to 8 ounces daily. Store the supplement away from direct sunlight, and give the formula a few weeks to show in the coat, skin, and hooves.
HealthyCoat is a family-owned product that started in 1998 on a fourth-generation Iowa farm and is now licensed in all 50 states. Its all-natural, minimally processed approach has earned a following among barrel racers, ropers, and show competitors who need their horses to look and feel their best under pressure. From the rodeo arena to the show ring, the message is consistent: people see the difference, and animals feel the difference.

Start gradually with 1 to 4 ounces per day for an average adult horse, top-dressed over the regular ration. Active horses or those with difficult skin and coat needs can be fed up to 8 ounces per day. Shake gently before each use.
Many owners notice a difference within about two weeks of daily feeding, with coat shine, skin comfort, and hoof condition continuing to improve over the following weeks as the fatty acids work from the inside out.
Yes. The combination of omega fatty acids and biotin supports healthy hoof growth and quality, and owners commonly report reduced cracking and stronger horn over time.
The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in HealthyCoat support the skin barrier and overall skin health, which is why it is often fed to horses dealing with dry skin and seasonal allergy-related coat problems.
HealthyCoat is processed without heat and fed as a liquid so the delicate essential fatty acids and vitamins are preserved rather than cooked out during manufacturing. The apple-flavored liquid also evens out feed textures and improves palatability for picky eaters.
No. While the equine formula is built for horses, HealthyCoat makes species-specific versions for cattle, goats, dogs and cats, chickens, and multi-species or show animals, each tailored with appropriate flavoring.
