Horse hoof supplement 101
Hoof supplement choice
If you’re not sure which supplement that you want or need to use for your horse, your first port of call is probably going to be your vet or farrier. You’ll find that they have lots of recommendations for you, including checking whether there’s an underlying problem with the horse’s health. Whether the hoof has cracked because of it being dried out, or damaged in other ways, you’ll find that you need to choose a supplement, and possibly other treatments that you need to apply. It’s critical though, to ensure that you’re working with your horse, and treating the underlying problem – hoof supplements may solve most of the issues that cause cracks in the wall of your horse’s hooves, but if there’s something underlying the cracks, unless you treat them they’ll come back. Your vet can support you in this.
