So i did a coth search, a google search...

and i found this on google:
http://www.southernomega.co.nz/products.htm#animals-pellets

Is there anyone stateside that makes flaxseed pellets?

I have a new horse that i've put on nutraflax- and a local vitamin with some oats... doesnt really eat the loose flax at all. Waster! LOL

i am in full care, and asking them to wet it to make it sticky just won't be feasible.

its not a big deal at all, but i was just wondering if there are any pelleted flax products out there, aside the one in New Zealand. LOL

It's got more than just flax, but flax is the main ingredient:

Heck, contact the Canadian Flax Council and ask them. :D

The people at the flax council were really helpful to me when I was looking for flaxseed. The Buckeye ultimate finish is good, but puts too much weight on mine. Ditto the omegahorseshine.
I use chia seeds as recommended on another thread on coth.........it was a vet's recommendation for fiber, and turns out ch-chi-chi-chia is full of omega 3 as well!
And if I get bored, I can make a lot of those little "pets" for Christmas gifts.
I get mine from getchia.com off of ebay. Good seeds, human grade, and horses love them, and I've not seen any little chia plants growing in the manure as I did flax plants when I tried to feed whole flax seeds.
Omegahorseshine used to make a very good flax cookie, but they went up on the price and down on the ingredients.

To get a horse to eat the powdered flax, whichever you choose, you can mix it with his feed pellets. My WB's only problem is that it gets caught on his teeth like peanut butter, and I have to take it off with my fingers for him.

ADM makes them. HealthyGlo is flax/rice bran.

Have you asked HorseTech to flavor it?
