Chia seeds are recommend for horses in intense work to support exercise recovery because of their absorptive properties. With a high fiber content, they absorb 10-12 times their own weight in water. Integrating soaked chia seeds into your horse's feed regimen can help prolong hydration and retain electrolytes in bodily fluids.
These benefits support better endurance, faster recovery, and increased longevity for equine athletes.
We typically recommend soaking our seeds 15-20 minutes before feeding. This will ensure that the seeds are fully hydrated when consumed.
