About the Farriers Favourite

An advanced formulation that we believe to the best hoof supplement on the market. There is a well known saying in the horse world, “no foot, no horse” and this is undoubtedly true. If you have experienced the problems of horses failing to hold shoes, dealing with rising cracks, brittle feet coming off in pieces, the farrier being unable to get a shoe on your horse then you will understand the problem.

Horses with poor horn quality often suffer from a lack of the basic hoof building ingredients. Hoof horn is made up mainly of protein materials strengthened by the deposition of Keratin. Biotin helps in the production of Keratin so is a vital ingredient in any hoof supplement but Biotin alone is not enough to help achieve the maximum effect of a quality hoof supplement.

Methionine and Lysine are essential ingredients in hoof supplements because as amino acids they help the horse by providing the building blocks of strong hoof horn. If they are in short supply they inhibit the metabolism of protein therefore affecting horn quality.

MSM is present in keratin, a necessary substance for healthy hooves. People using MSM often report their finger nails growing faster and harder and the same is experienced with horses on MSM.

Zinc, copper and manganese are minerals that play a part in the formation of keratin and collagen which are vital for sustaining healthy skin, hair, cartilage, bone and hooves. These minerals are provided in Farriers Favourite in organic form so that they are more easily absorbed by the horse. Zinc in particular has a positive effect in maintaining hoof quality.

In our belief of using natural ingredients wherever possible, Farriers Favourite hoof supplement contains cooked whole linseed which is one of the best forms of naturally occurring biotin. Often an improvement in coat condition will be visible when using Farriers Favourite because the coat is made up of similar proteins to those in the hoof.

Here is what our customers say about Farriers Favourite:-

Hi I just purchased my 3rd tub of this and I want to say that I think this stuff is absolutely bloody marvellous! My horse had navicular disease with very bad cracks in her hooves, she is now very sound and she has the best quality hooves on the yard, Hard and strong and I now ride her without any shoes. Many thanks.

Just letting you know Farriers Favourite has improved our horses feet very quickly as they were in poor condition coming from Holland. They were stabled almost all the time so there feet were very soft and flakey. Within 2 months we noticed a BIG difference even our farrier commented about how fast they have been growing. I will certainly be recommending Farriers Favourite to anyone whose horses have problem feet"

Marley has had no shoes on now since January due to her not doing any work. I strongly believe that I have been able to keep her shoes off because of starting her on Farriers Favourite. Even my farrier was expecting an urgent call from me asking him to put her shoes back on. She hasn't gone lame and has had very little of her hooves breaking off. Normally in wet conditions her hooves soften and break off. This has been a longstanding problem with her. She has four white hooves and a problem with her white line. I have tried many products both orally and topically over the last 16 years …… none of those products have proven to be as successful as yours.
