So my mare has just moved to a track system livery, it's bare earth track with some grass verges and hedging / nettles etc to nibble on but her main food source is the ad lib hay. She's very overweight so this seemed the best option to manage this but I'm wondering about whether I need to add anything onto her hooves as the earth is so dry and hard they will (maybe) get dry and cracked, they have occasionally in previous summers when it's been hot but it's never been an issue for long enough to worry about before. She is getting supplemented with vits and minerals which should help hoof health and she's always had good feet but just wondering if there is more I can do to stop them getting too dry?
