I’m very glad that this question was posted. I am in the Chicagoland area and have been contemplating which one to go with. Thank you!
I have used Farriers Formula on my horse for a year and I have had great success with it.
Glad the answer is both. It’s what my trainer and farrier both recomended. I’ve been doing that for a couple years now whenever I get a new horse with bad hooves I give the full strength of the suppliment but I cheat a little and only give half the suppliment once their hooves are in great shape. Never had to go back to full strength on any of my horses and the farriers always comment on them halving good hooves. I also feed other suppliments and some have a few of the same ingredients so thet may be a factor.
I’m glad to hear the answer as well! My former farrier said that oral supplements don’t really help because ingredients were used for all over the body, not just the horse. Duh. Haha, but I agree that it has to be both. I take supplements for my own fingernails and hair, and I can see a big difference, so why wouldn’t my horses. Great topic.
Thanks for sharing this information. The hoof supplements seem to actually help the horses I have seen, but it depends on brand and the time of year. Keep up the great posts.
I’m happy to hear the reply as well! My former barrier said that oral supplements don’t really help because ingredient were used for all over the body, not just the horse, but I agree that it has to be both.
