The horse’s body reacts very sensitively to seasonal changes. Shedding is not merely an aesthetic process, but a significant physiological adaptation: metabolic intensity changes, protein and fat metabolism increases, and the digestive system may also be put under additional strain as the body builds millions of new hairs. During this period, rather than drastic interventions, gentle, physiologically appropriate support is needed. Seasonal Care 100% flaxseed meal represents exactly this approach.
One of the most important properties of flaxseed meal is its high soluble fiber and mucilage content. These mucilages form a gel-like substance in the gastrointestinal tract when exposed to water, which can provide mechanical protection to the mucous membranes, support the smooth passage of intestinal contents and promote normal bowel function. The horse’s cecum and colon serve as active fermentation chambers where microorganisms break down fibers; the fiber profile of flaxseed meal may contribute to maintaining a stable microbial environment. During shedding, when metabolism works more intensively and digestion may become more sensitive, this can be particularly valuable support.
Flaxseed meal retains residual fatty acids even after oil extraction, including alpha-linolenic acid, which belongs to the omega-3 fatty acid group. These fatty acids play a role in maintaining the structural stability of cell membranes, supporting the skin barrier function and preserving coat quality. A shiny, resilient coat is not merely a cosmetic matter, but also a reflection of cellular function and metabolic balance. Hair production is a protein-intensive process, so the moderate plant protein content of flaxseed meal can also contribute to the formation of structural elements.
Flaxseed naturally also contains lignans, which are plant compounds with antioxidant properties. During periods of increased stress, temperature fluctuations, or more intensive metabolic activity, oxidative stress may rise; therefore, the presence of antioxidant components may support stable cellular function and the maintenance of internal balance. Seasonal Care is not a stimulant and does not provide an energy boost; instead, it works in harmony with the horse’s natural processes to help maintain the body’s balance.
This is why we consider it a seasonal supplement: not a product intended for continuous, year-round use, but a conscious, temporary support during periods when the horse’s body is forced to adapt more intensively. It can be easily incorporated into the feeding of sport horses, leisure horses, and horses with more sensitive digestion alike, mixed into the feed at a daily dose of one scoop (20 g).
Seasonal Care is made from 100% flaxseed meal, provides a 25-day supply, and contains no additives, added sugar, molasses, or soy. A simple, clean ingredient that supports the horse’s biological processes – without promising more than what it can realistically deliver from a physiological perspective.
🎁 Seasonal Care can be selected as a gift with orders over 30,000 HUF, while supplies last. A thoughtful, seasonally aligned extra – the Meglio way. 💛
