Background: 14.3hh irish sports horse gelding,11 yrs old.
Been shod all round but last month i took off back shoes as he has good feet.. A little bit of hoof has broke off but no cracks/other problems & hes sound.
Horse is an average door,very hyper/excitable/nervous !
Currently fed topspec lite balancer & mollichaff.
I know mollichaff isnt great for feet & apparently topspec isnt great either..
So opinions on feed please as hes almost finished current feed. Someone suggested micronized linseed & chaff. Would people agree? Any supplements needed?
Also any good hoof dressings i could buy or am i better off leaving feet?
Advice/opinions please guys as its such a minefield!
Ps. Ocassionally he eats mud
