A hoof supplement supports hoof horn growth and quality through nutrients - typically biotin, methionine, zinc, and copper. The collection also includes topical hoof care products (oils, ointments, packing) that work externally on the existing horn rather than supporting new growth.
When should I feed a hoof supplement for horses?
Use feed-based hoof supplements for horses with poor hoof horn quality, slow growth, cracking, or weak walls. Use topical hoof products for everyday hoof maintenance, daily moisturising, or addressing specific concerns like thrush or hoof packing for support. Most riders use both - daily topical care plus a longer-term feed supplement.
Are hoof supplements for horses competition-legal?
Yes. Biotin and the typical hoof-support nutrients are competition-legal across FEI disciplines.
How long does it take to see results from a hoof supplement?
Hoof growth is slow - 6-9mm per month. Feed-based supplements take 9-12 months to show full effect at ground level (the new horn has to grow down from the coronary band). Topical products show maintenance benefits faster but don't change underlying horn quality.
What brands of hoof product for horses do you stock?
For feed-based hoof support: TRM Biotin and Plusvital Hoofcare (in equine supplements). For topical hoof care: TRM Hoof Oil (in horse grooming), Effol Hoof Ointment, and Absorbine Magic Cushion hoof packing.
Can I feed multiple horse supplements together?
Yes. Hoof supplements pair well with coat, joint and condition supplements. For combined hoof, mane and coat support, biotin pairs naturally with omega-rich oils.
