I have started to feed my TB biotin however in the tack shop they had several brands of Biotin I just bought the biggest cheapest tub (Equimins) I could as he went through the last tub quite quickly.
I am now wondering does the brand of Biotin actually matter, are some stronger than others? (didn't have time to compare the brands in the shop).
 
I don't know, but I know the Equimins brand of supplements is good anyhow. Amongst other items, I have used their Biotin, and it worked extremely well for my mare.
 
I never found any of the biotins worked on my TB, what did work was NAF's Hoof & Hide, it took some months for Blacksmith too see a difference but it worked and instead of throwing shoes and have crumbling feet after 18 months his feet were nearly perfect.
 
i have just put my tb on biotin and put him on biotinplus wich is supposed to be double strenth, feet is a lengthly process though as it takes 9months to grow a new hoof:( my farrier also said plento of feed as his feet just wernt growing fast enough.

feeding farriers aid my tb when from literally just rasping to shape to taking a good cm of hoof off. would definalty recommend it.
