Horseshoer's Secret Pelleted Hoof Supplement

Hoof trouble shows up as cracks, splits and thin walls, and it takes time to grow out. Horseshoer's Secret Pelleted Hoof Supplement gives your horse daily nutrition for healthy hoof growth and normal hoof walls. It combines biotin, the amino acids lysine and methionine, copper, zinc, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

The alfalfa-based pellets are palatable and mix easily into the grain ration your horse already gets, so extra hoof care doesn't become a separate feeding project. Hoof growth takes time, so a daily routine that starts before the next farrier visit makes sense.

Farriers and equine professionals recommend it for horses that need additional nutritional support for healthy hooves. It is made to support hoof walls and cracked hooves.

Highlights

• Biotin, lysine and methionine for hoof support
• Copper and zinc in the formula
• Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
• Alfalfa-based pellets mix into the daily grain
• Enclosed scoop for the daily serving
• Recommended by farriers and equine professionals

Why choose a pelleted hoof supplement

Hooves are built from what a horse eats, so good forage and grain are the foundation. A hoof supplement adds nutrients for the hoof on top of that base, which is why many owners keep one in the feed room.

Pellets mix evenly, so every scoop is the same, and they are easier to keep up with daily than a loose supplement that is hard to measure.

It suits horses in steady work, pasture horses that wear their feet unevenly, and any horse whose farrier asks for more hoof nutrition.

How to feed it

Feed one daily serving based on your horse's weight. The rate here is set for a 1,100 lb horse.

1. Use the enclosed scoop, which holds 6 oz.
2. Mix the pellets into the daily grain ration.
3. Keep the scoop with the container so every serving stays the same.
4. Keep the container closed and dry, so the pellets stay fresh and easy to scoop.

Good to know

• Weigh your horse or run a weight tape, since the 6 oz rate is based on a 1,100 lb horse.
• Plan regular farrier visits while you feed, since hoof growth takes time.
• Pair it with a daily hoof pick and a dry stall, so the feet stay clean between trims.
• Start the daily scoop before the next farrier visit, so the routine is in place when the feet get checked.
