A horse's hoof will be as healthy as the food the horse is fed, and the environment in which he/she is kept. To make a healthy hoof, feed your horse appropriately so he is neither too fat nor too skinny. Make sure he/she is getting all the nutrients and vitamins he/she needs. Adding Biotin together with Methionine will increase hoof and hair growth. Keep the hoof clean and trimmed evenly when needed - about every 6 - 12 weeks depending on the horse and where he is kept and ridden. Take care not to let the horse founder, which causes the death of the tissue inside the hoof.
A healthy hoof also consists of the proper blood circulation, tissue growth, and hoof wall distribution of forces (pressures and stresses). When these factors are compromised and the hoof becomes foundered, they need to be supported by the proper mechanisms. A shoe package, hoof plate or other system can help return the hoof to a healthy state.
