soft hooves

Farrier's Formula® Double Strength should be fed with a good quality hay and grain ration. Eliminate any bran from the diet if possible. The phytate and phosphorus content of bran can alter calcium/phosphorus absorption or lead to other mineral imbalances.

"Double strength Farriers formula has made a huge difference in my gelding's hoof wall. He has really soft walls and the Farriers Formula has made keeping a shoe on much easier. He has been on it for 4 years, He is 21."
"This product was recommended to me for my senior Horse, who has definite issues with his feet due to confirmation problems because of his age. I have been using it now for four years and his feet have been hard and no cracks and there haven't been any issues and even the Ferrier had to admit that his feet are remarkable for a 26-year-old horse I love this product and life data Has extremely informative videos on their website that are free to all of us. I highly recommend this product worth its weight and gold."
"It is a great product. My horses hooves have never been better! My farrier swears by the product and so do I. I have used it for years."
"Love this product. My tb will actually eat it. He is turned out all day and would get 3-4 abscesses a year. Since being on this he maybe gets 1 per year. Great product."
"Works great for regrowing hooves and highly palatable. My mare prefers pelleted supplements and this has everything to start fixing flat shallow hooves in poor ground conditions. Farrier and vet impressed with hoof quality"
"Is great for hoof growth. I can tell when my horse doesn't get it. Her feet are softer. She has a family history of lamanits."
"Very happy with the Farriers Formula double strength. My mare likes the taste and the farrier says her feet are great."
"Same recipe as hoof power"
"This product was a recommendation from my ferrier after horse had ripped off a significant chunk of his toe. We were all blown away by not only the regrowth, but the quality of hoof as well. Needless to say I've kept him on it ever since and I've put my other horse on it as well!"
"I am feeding this product and have been for over a year. Feeding two older riding horses. Ages 22 and 18 years old. As well and my 2 year old that will be being ponied this spring and summer on rocky trails. It seems to be making a good difference in hoof thickness. My Farrier has been happy with the improvement in their feet."
