Who feeds it and why?
What (if any) results have you seen?
How much do you feed (for what size horse)?

I feed it to my Exmoor for her sweet itch and temperament (the temperament thing was a nice side effect). It makes a real difference to her skin and stops her itching so much. I feed her 50g and she weighs about 350kg but I think that's more than recommended on the pot.

Jos has had it for a couple of years now - it prevents him bloating up, and his coat is much nicer too. He has one scoop a day in his feed.

Thanks - I've got one who gets skin issues (fed the same as the others and vets can't find a reason...) so thought it may help.
What quantities should it be fed in? Mellymoo - you say a scoop but how big is the scoop?!
shan - I will buy a small amount to try first and then get a big bag if successful as she can be a bit picky

On the tub that I get (Gold Label) it says 25g for ponies and 50g for horses. My other pony who isn't itchy but has a crap coat won't touch it- she won't even lick a bucket that the other pony's eaten out of!

I used the de-bittered BY on a shetland for sweetitch.. what a difference... his tail hair began to grow back in, as did his mane, once he got used to the taste he scoffed it down. I gave him a teaspoon to start with and upped it to two teaspoons when he was used to it.. don't know if that was enough but it did work.

I buy from Feedmark and Pelito loves it! He has a small blue scoop a day as per instructions and has a beautiful coat (he also has micronised linseed).
