Judy, I had my horses on a hoof supplement for years, yet my twh continued to blow out the sides of his feet. When I switched to a Natural Balance farrier, the problem went away. His feet were properly trimmed, w/ no excess hoof wall, and so there was no hoof wall to blow out. He didn't need a supplement, he needed a good farrier and a proper natural trim. Now I feed both of the horses (twh and an Icelandic) a vitamin supplement, a bit of Safe Choice feed (about 1/4 cup for the Icey), a bit of hay pellets, and a scoop of ground flax seed, which I like very much for them--helps with itching.
