I have always fed flax seed whole and definitely noticed a great improvement in my horse's skin problems. I am sure some is swallowed whole, but don't you think that the way the horses grind their food that most of it is ground by their teeth even more finely than a grinder would do by the time the horse swallows? I just can't imagine a horse swallowing food without chewing most of it. At least mine seem to almost become hypnotic while enjoying  chewing their food slowly.
