i use the livamol, it doesn't give energy - just a really nice smooth, shiny, darker coloured coat without the grease that we used to get from feeding the rice bran oil

Or linseed
Gho and Angel are both on linseed and I don't find their coats get greasy/oily at all...

Lollie RR Vice President (26559) | Olive oil would be my preference, but to feed it to a large animal would be too costly, which is why I'd go for linseed or rice bran.

I know someone who buys big barrels of olive oil with a pump/tap on top and it sits in the main paddock so the horses can help themselves (obviously she has to make sure there's plenty sitting on top of the barrel) and her horses were all amazingly fat and shiney so it can't be all bad
On the other hand, I would never feed canola oil, the way I understand it is it's pretty much the lowest grade oil designed for processed foods as the "gold standard" oil, olive oil, is much to expensive to be used in such foods to keep them at a decent price. Wouldn't eat it myself (avoid it as much as possible) so why would I feed it to my horses? (Ofcourse I don't apply this to everything horse feed related haha just the things that are in both my diet and my horses)
Found this, about canola oil, rather interesting:
"In addition to the genetic modification, the process of making Canola oil is troubling. The procedure involves a combination of high-temperature mechanical pressing and solvent extract, usually using hexane. Hexane! Even after considerable refining, traces of the solvent remain. Like most vegetable oils, Canola oil also goes through the process of bleaching, degumming, deodorizing, and caustic refining, at very high temperatures. This process can alter the omega-3 content in the oil, and in certain conditions bring the trans fat level as high as 40 percent."
Quality oils, such as olive, are made in a much simpler way - for example, the olives are pressed and the oil that comes out is collected.
