Hoof Support
BUILD a BETTER HOOF from ONLY $1.26 a DAY
HOOF SUPPORT can help horse owners whether they are looking after a laminitic pony or a Clydesdale with quarter cracks, or are just after an improvement in the quality of their horse’s hooves.
Thin walls, thin soles, flaking, cracking, chipping, breaking, splitting, or slow hoof growth? These can be caused by dietary deficiency, causing discomfort or lameness for the horse, and worry and lost riding time for the owner. What's worse is that a compromised hoof then provides an ideal site for bacterial and fungal pathogens to take hold.
Stop these problems occurring by building a strong, robust, healthy hoof with scientifically formulated HOOF SUPPORT.
