There are many reasons that you need to choose hoof supplements – either you’ve found that your horse has a deficiency and you’re trying to treat them, or you want to ensure that your horse, after damaging its hoof, can repair it quickly and with the minimum of pain.

Damaged hooves

Horses damage their hooves – either a stone gets trapped between its horse-shoe, or it cracks it by standing on something that damages it, and suddenly, not only is the hoof cracked, but there’s damage to the underlying structure – the fissure has gone all the way through to the nerve underneath, or worse, there’s blood, or a large missing part.

The first thing you need to do is ensure that you’ve gotten your horse into a position that its foot can be treated.  Take the horse-shoe off if you have to – remove the stone or other foreign object and then bind the hoof.  You may need to take the horse to the vet, or have it treated by a farrier.

Hoof supplements can let your horse’s hoof rebuild and works on a cellular level, providing your horse with the nutrients it needs to repair and heal while still staying well.  Hoof supplements can also be used as a preventative – some can be given continually, while others are used on an as needed basis.
