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.
- Provides 9,450 mg of omega 3 fatty acids and 6,750 mg of DHA and EPA. Minty apple flavored!
- Supports overall health and wellness, a normal response to inflammation, and more

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.

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.
