My horses hooves basically cease gorwing completely from october through late march, this is obviously not good. We tried supplements, evaluated his diet etc and all seemed not to be the issue. My farrier wants me to dress his hooves every time I see him (4-7 days a week) with a 50/50 mix of castor oil and reducine on the coronet band.
What exactly will this do? Or rather, how will this mix encourage hoof growth?
Thanks!
