There are many factors that appear to affect hoof health and the majority of these are related to management; for example, what the horse is fed, hoof care and farriery. There is very little evidence that hoof health is genetic although it has been reported that some horses can inherit weak hooves and that is difficult to change. We can select horses for speed, paces or jumping ability and neglect hoof quality. However, it is possible to improve your horse’s hoof health through good hoof care, farriery and nutritional support.
Biotin has always been associated with hoof health and of all of the nutrients, biotin is the most researched nutrient for promoting hoof quality. Many studies have looked at the effect of biotin on hoof quality and it would appear that supplementation with between 10 and 30 g of biotin per day (depending on the bodyweight of the horse) for between six and nine months can be a useful way of supporting horses with poor hoof quality.
Another mineral implicated in hoof quality is zinc, which is present in high concentration in normal hoof tissue and is present in most horse feeds, although often at levels lower than recommended for good health.
Equine Products UK Ltd Bio-Trition ZMC Advanced contains 30mg of biotin per scoop and therefore for a 500 kg horse this is at the level reported to support hoof quality. This, coupled with the amino acid’s methionine and cysteine and the minerals zinc, copper and calcium, can help support good hoof growth and help address any issues with poor hoof quality.
The wash and cream seem to be working very well. Fast delivery although the price for shipping was quite expensive.
It's amazing can't recommend enough
I bought this to get the mud off my mud magnets face. It’s brilliant. Very happy with my purchase and extremely swift response/delivery time.
Absolutely love it! !!
Love it's silky feel just what I wanted to complement my blue XC colours ( keeping my neck warm as well as looking good)
It does brush off dried mud and my horse seems to like the experience
Equine Products UK Linseed Oil
The jacket is great, it’s breathable, keeps me warm and is also waterproof! Definitely great quality
My older horse is copper deficient and one sachet of this a month keeps him looking and feeling at his very best. He could pass off as a much younger horse now and I’m grateful!
All the horses took to having it in their feed well and although it's a little early to see any big changes, they all look very well and happy! Quick delivery and a great price.
My order was dispatched promptly. I needed to make a return and this was dealt with most efficiently. I will certainly shop with Equine Products UK again 👍🏻
This is an amazing piece of kit. It takes away all the hard work of brushing, and my pony, who usually objects to lengthy bouts of my cleaning him, almost sighed with pleasure . And it gets rid of the dirt easy peasy.
Prompt delivery, well packaged good quality product at competitive price
Honestly amazed by how much his cost has improved in the short time I have been using the linseed oil! Will definitely be keeping them on it!
Great product, good consistency & easy to apply
