Have you tried Cornucrescine Daily Hoof Moisturiser Dry & Brittle or Keratex Hoof Moisturiser? x

What sort of cracks? Are they flaking and chipping away, or do you have long cracks going up from the bottom of the hoof? When you hold the hoof up and look at the bottom can you see flare? I ask because that will cause cracking and chipping.
It might help if you post some photos, the trim can have a lot of influence on this. I haven't had any cracks or chips for 6 months, and I changed the person who was trimming my horse's feet about 9 months ago.

If it is just a case of dryness then get a hoof oil containing coconut oil x
