Can anyone recommend anything to help prevent cracked hooves? My mare is old with a slightly abnormal gait at times and really suffers from cracked hooves. She has regular trimming which has helped over the years but the last few months she has had massive vertical cracks appear. One in her hind hoof which goes right to the coronet band and this morning the small crack that Ya on her front goes half way up and she has lost a big chunk of foot. Is there anything that can be put on? Effol has worked for years but just doesn't seem to be doing anything. And i don't want to spend a fortune trying stuff that might not work especially as i spend a fortune keeping her happy and comfortable already, so would be interested in your experiences.
