NO Hoof, no horse
There are several components to having strong healthy hooves which includes, routine hoof trimming, balanced forage based diet, lots of movement, correct body posture through bodywork and regular dentistry.
Nutrition Info
Horses should have access to free choice forage as they are mean't to graze 16+ hours per day. Hay can be fed in slow feed hay nets. I personally use Hay Chix nets.
​
Vermont Blend is a vitamin and mineral supplement that balances New England's hay and pasture. It can be purchased here. Use code MOORE10 for 10% off
Other forage balancers: California Trace Plus and Mad Barn Amino Trace +

Flax seed is an excellent fat supplement that is high in Omega 3's which are anti-inflammatory. I recommend Triple Crown Naturals Golden Ground Flax or freshly ground flax seed.
