Sho-Hoof

For mature horses that need extra hoof support, Sho-Hoof adds biotin, methionine and chelated zinc to the regular grain and forage ration. Each 2 oz serving provides 20 mg of biotin, along with methionine and chelated zinc, in a feed that horses readily eat.

Omega-3s and amino acids support a shiny coat and healthy skin, so one daily feeding brings several useful nutrients into the routine. It is highly palatable and easy to feed, and it works alongside Sho-Flex and Sho-Glo when those are part of the horse's program.

Highlights

• 20 mg biotin for hoof health
• Methionine and chelated zinc in the daily ration
• Omega-3s and amino acids for a shiny coat and skin
• Highly palatable and easy to feed
• Works with Sho-Flex and Sho-Glo

Why a daily hoof supplement

Hoof quality is built over months, not days. A hoof grows out slowly, so a supplement that goes in with every meal does more than a fix you start when a crack shows up. A steady daily routine is the easiest way to keep the nutrients coming through the growing season and the wet months.

It is a good fit for a mature horse in steady work, or for a retired horse on a routine that is already set. Because it mixes into the regular ration, you do not need a separate feeding time, and it can sit right beside the grain bin.

How to feed it

Feed it to mature horses along with the regular grain and forage ration, by body weight:

1. Less than 800 lb body weight: 1½ ounces daily.
2. 800 to 1,200 lb body weight: 2 ounces daily.
3. Greater than 1,200 lb body weight: 2½ ounces daily.

The enclosed scoop holds about 1 ounce of Sho-Hoof by weight.

Add it to the regular routine when hoof support is on your list, and keep the daily routine simple.

Good to know

• Feed it at the same time each day, mixed into the same meal, so no feeding gets missed.
• Keep it sealed and dry, and away from other stock.
