Did you know… Simple System Instant Linseed is not like other linseed. In our never-ending quest for the best we have persuaded one of our favourite (because he is as fussy as we are) farmers to be our exclusive supplier of linseed. His fields turn blue in June and by August they are dark gold and ready to harvest. From there, the linseed goes to a professional seed cleaner where any bits of stalks, husks, small seeds and seeds from any other plants are all removed. This super-pure, high quality linseed is then ground and cooked for us. For our horses, this means their linseed from Simple System is purer and due to the cleaning process, higher levels of oil, at 42%. This oil is 50% omega 3, massively higher than any other vegetable oil and in the same ratio with omega 6 as natural grazing – 4:1. This high quality linseed is available as a straight, Instant Linseed, and is also used in our blends and balancers. It is unique to Simple System, so not available from any other source. It is simply the best!
In the wild, with unrestricted access to pasture, horses would spend the summer “stocking up†by eating nutritious grass - and plenty of it - to aid them in building a thick coat and laying down excess weight...
Horses’ teeth change throughout their lives - they are continually growing and continually wearing, as they chew and grind their grazing and forage.
Grass has the potential to grow all year, which is different from many other plants. Certain things are necessary for this growth, but if they are not met, the grass will be dormant, waiting for conditions to improve.Â
