Equine Hoof Care...

Did you know that Not having your horses hooves trimmed every 6-8 weeks is called neglect. I betyou didnt... Well Now if your horse breaks a hoof(Chips a Nail) you can have a trained professional come a clean it out and replace it every 5-6 weeks untill it grows back Now Farriers are using Appoxy and solidizing Silicone. They apply this liquid to solid chemical to the hoof as the horse stands and waits for this formula to dry. About an hour later the farrier will file this silicone Appoxy to the shape of the hoofe and about 2 days later the hoof looks natural.
Of course this cost a big chunk of change but For some people it is worth it. The Equine indistry is now comming out with a bunch of new formulas that help with hoof Growth. Some of these formulas are ingestable and Others can be applyed Dirctly to the hoof. The industry has many new product to help horses wear their feet correctly. They are now makeing a form of Equine sneakers.
