: We have a 22 year old morgan mare, who has foundered 4 times in the last 15 years. the last time, about 18 monthes ago, was the worst but she survived, and has been doing very good in NB shoes. The remaining problem has been getting her to grow quality hoof wall. Her hooves are crumbly, and do not hold a nail well. she is feed good quality hay, vitamins, and biotin supplaments. Any suggestions on improving the hoof wall would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jim
