The condition of my mare’s hooves went downhill after I purchased her a year + ago. Perla, my 5 year old Tennessee Walker mare, was in a show barn with high-quality feed/supplements but then was stabled in a training barn with timothy grass. The barn owner said she would be OK with that feed; however, her hooves were not ok — as they chipped and had actual penny to dime-sized holes in them from the rocks in the paddock – she even lost a shoe.
I started her on Omega Horseshine and the difference was notable. She eats it best with apple sauce or just plain water to moisten the feed a bit — per your suggestion. Either way — she eats it all so nothing is wasted. I alternate with the Omega Nibblers and she enjoys those as well – even considers them a tasty treat. She goes to the supplement bucket BEFORE eating her hay. Perla and I are riding forest trails, coastal beaches and participating in poker rides. She appears to be taking everything in stride with no hoof damage. Thanks for bringing my horse’s hooves back to optimum and keeping her coat/mane/tail looking luxurious! PS. She wasn’t wet in the wash rack picture — that is her normal shine!
