Hi all,
Is there anyone out there that has any knowledge of the difference between Farriers Formula and the Source Hoof product? I am not happy with my 2 year olds hind feet. They get vertical cracks and tend to chip and flare. I have only tried the Source Hoof before. I am not familiar with results from Farriers Formula but have heard a lot of people talking about it here. I don't know if anyone has tried both and found one to be preferable over another or if anyone knows if they are pretty much the same ingredients anyway.
Thanks,
Ella |

Hi Ella,
My ferrier recommends Hoof Rite. It's carried at most feed stores in Tucson, as well as the Ferrier Store. Works very well.
Have a good day, Shirl |

Hello, Ella.
Sorry to hear you're having hoof issues.
Have had my mare on Farrier's Formula for a year with great results.
Have you visited Source (www.4source.com/)and Life Data Labs (www.lifedatalabs.com) web sites? Nutrient info is posted on these sites.

Ella, I would take our recommendations in the article then compare them to the products available to you.

Hello Ella,
I am a "Farriers Formula" girl myself and a happy one at that. Couple of other things you might want to consider is:
Have a chat with your farrier about this and see if he/she can offer any solutions.
Ground conditions have gone from wet and muddy to dry.
Both of these companies state that it will take 1 to 3 months to start seeing some results as new hoof grows in.
Hope this helps.

Thanks all, I appreciate the feedback. She is a beautiful filly with not so beautiful feet. I would like to make the two match.
Thanks,
Ella |

Hi Ella,
I am sold on Horseshoer's Secret! My horse, a Palomino Paint Florida Cracker was a rescue horse and his hooves were awful (rough, dark banding around them) including a bad thrush infection. With some loving daily care and the supplement for 3 months, his hooves are now white, clean and grow so nicely the farrier loves his 4 week visits.
Hope this helps.

Karen-I was just curious, what is a "Florida Cracker?" Is it a Florida version of a Mustang? It's a term I don't remember hearing before. Thanks. |
