Tried quite a few but none have seemed to name a huge difference. Products that moisturise the hoof and make it more flexible and less susceptible to cracking and drying rather than hardening ones? Thanks :p

You need to strengthen hooves from within. Try feeding micronised linseed and a good hoof supplement like forage plus or progressive earth. Then if the feet are still dry and cracking a good soaking with water should do. A puddle round the water trough works well. Oils etc disrupt the ability of the hoof to regulate moisture itself.
