Great source of DHA/EPA-- Love it!
I have 3 horses, one of which suffers from seasonal allergies (hives, runny eyes, etc.) I was using a wonderful (but expensive) DHA based supplement to control his hives. It worked better than I ever expected it to, and I quickly realized that I wanted all 3 of my horses supplemented with marine-based Omega-3's for their general health and well being. KER's EO-3 oil has been the best option I've found to get a sizeable amount of DHA/EPA into their diets without adding a ton of extra calories-- it cuts to the chase with exactly what I want them to have. The product does not overtly smell like 'fish oil.' It has a fresh, light, fruity/minty scent, and all 3 of my horses eat it in their feed, no problem. If you're looking for a concentrated, bioavailable Omega-3 supplement, I would definitely give EO-3 a try.

Reduced Airway Inflammation
I bought this based on a completed study for airway inflammation in horses and that omega 3s could significantly reduce that inflammation. Before using this, my horse would be wheezing/heavily breathing within minutes of starting a ride. Within 3 days there was a drastic improvement with her breathing. Absolutely amazing. She is also an incredibly picky eater and will eat around any supplement and will eat this.

Helping with my slow healers
My vet noticed my horses were healing slower than normal after cuts or scrapes. They are on pasture with high quality grass hay and a general nutritional supplement. At the advice of a KER nutritionist, I added Nano-E and EO-3 to one horse that had an existing wound. Within 60 hours I am noticing a visual difference in healing speed. I will continue to monitor and report back.I am feeding using a large syringe in the mouth, so that none goes wasted. The gelding likes the taste, no dribbling or refusing to swallow.

Love this oil
I’ve always given my horses flax seed for extra omega 3s. They are on very little grass. I read an article on this stating the benefits of giving it to broodmares and started my horse on it. They look great and eat it with no problems.

Really want my horse to eat it
I have been slowly adding 1/8-1/4 oz to my horse's grain for two weeks. He's continually refused to eat any more than that. Supposedly, this is a minty-apple scent, but to my nose it does seem to smell more like cherry-bubblegum (to be fair, it definitely doesn't smell off-putting to me). I'm really hoping to be able to get him to eat more over time, because unfortunately I don't think 1/4 oz is going to have much of an effect on a 1600lb horse. Definitely beware if you have a known picky eater.

Hard to pour
How do you pour when the bottle is so big. Couldn’t find a pump that fit.

Horse won’t eat it
I’m sure this is a great product. Wish my horse would eat it. Even when I only put 1/2 oz. he won’t eat it.

Great source of EPA/DHA
I was feeding my pregnant mare welactin to support both her and her foals health (particularly foals brain health). Welactin was out of stock so started looking at other options and realized as long as I got the larger size of EO3, it was more cost effective anyway. Colt also gets it now. Both gobble it up.

Great product
She likes the taste, and it really helped with her sweet itch and hives, more than flax did.

Great ingredients, horses won’t eat it
Ingredient-wise, this is the best omega 3 supplement I’ve found for horses. Unfortunately, they hate the flavor and will not touch it.
