: I have a 3 year old appendix filly that has a healed injury to the cornary band. It was an avulsion type of injury to the heel bulb. She has poor quality hoof wall to the area. She has good hoof wall all around except for that area. I have had her on Farriers Formula for about 1 year. My question is this something that she should be on for life to help the quality of hoof wall? Or is it something that you just feed for one hoof wall growing cycle of about one year and stop feeding it
Jill,I wanted to let you know that any improvment that is seen in the hoof wall means that the supplement is working. I highly reccomend farriers formula to all my clients to improve overall hoof health. As far as an old injury to the cornary band, their may be a permanent disfigurment in the area of injury and to the hoofwall. Proper shoeing will help the damaged area appear more normal.
: Thank you,
