: My farrier just used your Equibuild on my horse who has underun heels. Before he put the equibuild in, he put some Hawthornes' sole pack in at front of the frog and at the heels. He was telling me about the equibuild and I forgot to ask why he was
: using the solepack with it. Can you tell me if this is something that is commonly done and if it's a normal use of the two products?

Hi Susan, Thanks for your question. Under normal situations, Equi-Build fills in the whole area of the sole and frog. However, I have seen products like Sole Pack used to block out certain areas if the farrier wants to isolate an area for growth of if they have a very sore spot they want to put a softer material against. It's not the norm but not unusual either. Ask your farrier why they did it the next time. It might also be an application technique. If they have any questions on this have them give us a call at 800-483-8832 or on my cell at 816-305-6984. Thanks again for your interest. frank
