There are a few cautions and contra-indications on the feeding of seaweed. Firstly ponies and first cross bred horses can just about 'live on the smell of an oily rag'. They don't need too much of any feed, accept adequate roughage. Secondly there are those rare individuals who cannot tolerate seaweed - these horses are usually hyper-thyroid and therefore very sebsative to the iodine in it.
