Yes it is, here are the benefits of feeding your horse ground flax seeds. Some of the reported benefits in the appearance and disposition of the horse are: * Improved coat and hair appearance * Improved hoof condition * Decreased nervousness * Decreased running of eyes, in blind or old horses.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Flax seed show Promise in Treating: * Thrombotic diseases, dyslipidemia, and cardia arrhythmia * Allergic dermatitis * Chronic Arthritis * Chronic inflammation and small airway disease in young racehorses * Enteritis or colitis induced by bacteria, parasites, or drugs * Clinical endotoxemia * Neural development of foals PS

I personally feed my horses ground flax seed, to help in some of the above problems.
