She's treading on dodgy ground as merely pumping calcium into the horse isnt going to heal the bone quicker- the amount of calcium required for a fracture is really pretty low.

Calcium/phosphorous imbalances are nasty things and not something I'd mess around with in a hurry.

Try Comfry. It's also known as Knitbone. This is the only link I could find (short of time!!)
