What is Seaweed for Horses?
Seaweed is a natural source of iodine, an essential trace mineral for your horse’s health. Iodine plays a key role in regulating metabolism, supporting healthy growth, and aiding in proper development. It also boosts the immune system and plays a role in reproductive health.
While iodine is found in most forages, it can sometimes be deficient, particularly in grass, hay, or haylage grown in iodine-poor soils. In such cases, seaweed supplementation can help to correct the deficiency and promote optimal health.
Our Hebridean Seaweed is a highly bioavailable source of iodine, carefully harvested to ensure its purity and effectiveness.
How Much Seaweed Should I Feed My Horse?
The appropriate supplementation of seaweed depends on the iodine content in your horse’s forage:
- Horses with iodine-deficient forage may benefit from small amounts of seaweed to ensure they meet their iodine needs.
- For a 400-600kg horse, we recommend feeding 1 x 2.5ml scoop per day, providing approx. 2.5 grams of Hebridean Seaweed.
- Maximum supplementation: We do not advise exceeding 1 x 5ml scoop per day unless advised by a forage analysis, as iodine supplementation should be carefully managed.
If you are unsure about the right amount to feed, please contact us for expert advice.

Following analysis of the hay I am feeding, I need to slightly boost iodine. ForagePlus have calculated that I only need 2.5g per day of their Hebridean Organic Seaweed to achieve this. It’s easy to use and readily eaten. Perfect!
