Hoof and Hair

A horse's hooves are essential to his soundness and overall well-being. The hoof is comprised of very simple materials, with collagen making up the bulk of it. This collagen is basically the same material that makes up hair, only in a much denser, compact form. The hooves support well over 1,000 pounds around the clock, and this extremely heavy weight demands a strong, flexible surface. Both the sole and hoof wall must be healthy and durable to keep the horse sound and free from pain.

This blend promotes a healthy coat, feet, skin, and bones by increasing circulation to the extremities.

Weaknesses Possibly Supported with this Blend:

• Horses with poor hoof growth

• Horses on hard or rocky terrain that need extra hoof support

• Horses with poor hoof quality: shelly, weak, cracking, splitting

• Horses with poor hair coat

• Horses with white base coat or pink skin that sunburn easily

• Horses that have had stressed hooves (e.g., founder, laminitis) that need to speed hoof growth
