: : I'v been shoeing a Horse which may have Navicular but the owner can not afford Radiographs right now.I'v been shoeing the horse with eggbar shoes with wedge pads in the front but his feet never really grow any wall or sole so there's nothing to do but rasp.He is on and off Biotine but it seems to help very little if any!.So my question is does Navicular cause very slow hoof growth? and if so what could help him? he is only lame when he has no shoe or wedge support.
: I think the owner is on the right track feeding the horse Biotine , however she is leaving out one key ingredient. In my opinion , one of the best ways to gain promote hoof growth is a GOOD SUPPLEMENT. The two key ingredients in a supplement are Biotine and Mathionine. If you look at some of the better supplements on the market ( HT-20 , Triad Formula ) they are higher in those two ingredients then most of the supplements. I use those two supplements frequently and they always give me the results i'm looking for. If you need the foot to grow get it healthy.That is where the Biotine and Mathionine come in . Good luck.
