"Feeding the Feet. ... any inadequate diet–whether it’s deficient in protein, energy, vitamins, or minerals–will eventually make itself felt throughout the horse’s body. He’ll have a dull coat, poor muscle tone, no energy, and the growth of his hooves will be slower than normal, resulting in splitting, cracking, and difficulty holding a shoe. Take such an undernourished horse and provide him with a complete and balanced diet, and all of those conditions gradually will correct themselves. He’ll grow better hoof horn, and produce it faster, because his body is being supplied with the raw materials he needs to do so." More: http://ow.ly/Ju5D50vV3wU

Riders have asked us how often to apply Hooflex® Therapeutic Conditioner Liquid to a cracked hoof. Our experts recommend a daily application using the following method until the problem is resolved:
1. Start by painting the soft tissue on the underside of the hoof including the sole and frog
2. Apply to the heels
3. Finish by setting the hoof down and coating the hoof wall and coronet band.

The product was on for literally 5 seconds before this photo was taken and it’s already soaked in and transformed the hoof! Honestly couldn’t recommend it more.” ⠀
