I was really interested in the paprika solution to making a black horse stay black....I have never heard of this before. We have a black walker mare that turns burnt brown by the end of June. What is the dosage of paprika per day per horse. Ruth

My appy gelding is a blue roan / leopard and he was faded to a "liver". I've been giving him 1tblsp of paprika a day since April and he is nice and blue/black again.

My glding is a pig and will eat anything. I did start by adding some corn oil at first so it would stick to the feed, but I don't use that now. I just put the paprika in and mix it into the bucket. He licks the bottom of the feed tub. I just had to replace his rubber feed pan becuase he put a hole right through the bottom. I've never seen a horse do that before.
