Bare foot diet and quartz dust....

[lurcherlu]

[SUP]so Breeze is newly broken , I posted a bare pot thread the other day, have taken your advice, changing her diet back to fast fibre and unmollased sugar beet ATM, instead of a cool mix... The starch levels are very highs the own brand ones. Is pink powder by naf any good at helping with the staying bare foot journey? I noticed biotin unit, and was is copper and magnesium oxide ? I'm going to order pro balance next month whenever paid too. Will get pics of her feet ATM, she has worn the toes down and due or farrier IMO but maybe I should leave a little longer to develop a natural shape as tbhithinkthey are just looking a bit messy but seem to be making a nice shape from road wok and the bridle ways. Being in Cornwall we have a lot of quartz in the soil from the granite, does anyone else in Cornwall area go barefoot. Or does the dust from quartz cause too many abscesses..... As vet last yearon the yard I worked at said it was quartz dust causing all the abscesses??

A stretched white line will get grot in it far more than a tight white line. By sorting the diet out, your horse should grow new hoof capsules with tight white lines and therefore be less likely to get abscesses whatever the 'grot' is made from.
