Barefoot hoof health

Do you want to improve barefoot hoof health?

To create functional barefoot hooves you must ensure the hoof is receiving the correct nutrition to grow and strengthen.

No matter how good your barefoot trimming and hoof care program is, if your horse has a protein, mineral or vitamin deficiency hoof health will be affected.

Feeding the right nutrients can mean the difference between healthy strong hooves or weak, slow growing or brittle hooves that are susceptible to disease like thrush and seedy toe.

With so many feeds and supplements available, finding the right feeds or supplement to support hoof growth and strength can be hard work.

A well balanced diet with the required protein, vitamins and minerals will keep your barefoot horses hooves tough and disease resistant. So how do you find the right feeds or supplements and balance the diet?

Here's how:

Use our on-line diet builder, FeedXL to find the right feeds and make a diet for your Barefoot horse

FeedXL is the most accurate and easy system to use. It's an excellent guide to what's in your horse's feed and whether its real needs are being satisfied. People with whom I work who are using FeedXL have saved money on feed costs and they have been very happy with the results; it pays for itself.

There are over 500 feeds in the FeedXL feed database.

FeedXL will use easy to read reports to guide you in selecting the feeds or supplements that meet your individual horse's nutrient requirements.

In addition, the high sugar, high starch feeds that are not suitable for horses prone to laminitis are marked in red to help you avoid them when needed.

Balancing the Diet

FeedXl calculates your horse's nutrient requirements and uses easy to read reports to show you if the diet is balanced or not.

If the diet is not balanced, FeedXL provides information to help you get it balanced.

There are also user forums where you can chat with other FeedXL users about your horse's diet and how you can improve it.

Again, many thanks for all your help so far - especially the program, it's so extensive & if dummies like me find it user friendly, it must be simple.
