Product Overview
Helps bring your horse’s diet into balance
EO-3™is a DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acid supplement that balances the modern horse’s omega-3 intake, Kentucky Equine Research developed EO-3™ from a sustainable source of menhaden fish oil in order to provide a direct source of bioavailable DHA and EPA in a palatable minty-apple flavor. EO-3 undergoes advanced distillation and includes a research-proven flavor to create a highly palatable product suitable for all horses. Marine-derived long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA are more efficiently used as precursors of local hormones than plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Note: pump is not included with the gallon size. Please purchase separately.

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.

Great Results & Horses Love It
I have had my horse on this for about 2 years now after recommendation from my vet. My horse can be very itchy from both bug bites and other allergens, developing hives and repeatedly cutting open her neck, dock, and hocks. The original cherry flavor took slow introducing. She seemed more offended by the strong smell than the taste but got used to it. The new minty apple flavor is an absolute hit! She licks her feed pan to get every last drop. No more hives or excessive rubs, cuts, and sores. She will have the occasional itch but nothing like before.
It takes about a month to build up the results. I take her off this for a few months in winter and make sure to restart a month before bugs come out.

Really works for allergies!!
After speaking with the Kentucky Equine Research institute about my 5-year-old mare's seasonal allergies, complete with severe itching and nonstop hives, they recommended that I give this to her as a top dress onto her normal feed. She gets Triple Crown Balancer Timothy cubes and I just drizzle this on the top.
Brought her in for a dermatology appointment and had her tested for a lot of different environmental allergens and the dermatologist mentioned that the EFAs can definitely inhibit histamine. I'm super happy to say that as a result of her being on the EO-3 For about 5 weeks, her largest reactions were much smaller than expected!
So bottom line is, although we are going to move forward with the allergy shots, the EFAs are definitely working as part of reducing her reactions - so if you have a horse suffering, try this out in addition to the other methods!! It takes some time to start working and I didn't notice a difference until about 3-4 weeks of use, which may be even a little early.
(Side note) I've also had her in a fly sheet that has helped some - at least for the bug bites. I use the Bucas Zebra fly sheet and it's not only adorable but it actually does work to reduce the flies on her!
I can't get the photos to upload so I'll try a bit later.
P.S. Make sure that you buy a pump to go with the bottle! Makes it much easier to administer.

All 3 horses eat it!
Even my picky eaters eat this when mixed with grain. I’ve seen a difference in cost, weight gain, and recovery time. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.

Great Omega Fatty Acids Source
Great product nutritionally if you are looking for something with high Omega content. Only drawback it the cherry flavor took my horse some getting used to and he is not normally picky at all. I am looking forward to trying this in the new minty apple flavor which I think will help.

Amazing results
We bought this product as a hopeful final answer to our COPD horses needs. I have bought every product under the sun to help them but nothing was working successfully. After using this product our seven Heaves sufferers could breathe, go back to work, and are competing successfully for the first time in years. The only con to this product is the lack of palatability. It took three weeks for the horses to eat a full two pump serving.

Too early
Too early to tell if it works for our OTTB with DJD or our pony with RAO, but they readily ate their mash with the added oil. I know others have mentioned their horse did not eat it, but neither of ours hesitated to eat their food when added to their alfalfa/Timothy mash with supplements.

My mare that eats everything won’t eat it.
My mare took one smell of this and turned away. She came back to her feed bowl and tried so hard to eat it. We poured it over crypto aero grain that she LOVES. She took a bite and shook her hood like she was trying to figure o spit it out. She couldn’t finish it. The bubble gum scent doesn’t work for her.

Great Product!
My suspicious TB mare was turned off by the cherry smell at first but after a couple days of trying to pick around it she finally ate it up and figured out she actually liked it. I think the cherry smell is what turns most horses off at first (better then fishy smell in my opinion!) but once they finally try it they find that they like the taste. I stared off only putting a little in then working my way up to the full 1oz each feeding. I noticed a difference in her coat pretty quickly. She always had a nice looking coat but after starting EO-3 it became exceptional, especially when she grew in her winter hair.
