Hi
I have a horse with very poor feet due to coronary band dystrophy (an auto immune problem). We have had to take his back shoes off as there is literally no wall left to nail to.
He is being seen by our vet and farrier but I am wondering whether a change in diet could help. He is currently on 1 round scoop of hi fi and 1/2 scoop of Dodson and Horrell pasture mix twice a day and also has formula 4 feet, garlic and synequin. He has carrots and apples added (one or two carrots and half an apple in each feed max). He is out 24/7 on a bare paddock with a small strip of grass opened up each week . He also has 1.5 sections of hay at night. He is about the right weightwise.
Can anyone recommend an alternative diet?
Thanks
