Location: Texas | I am needing to get hoof growth on my horse. So I have been researching different products out there. I like Farrier's Formula but I got a mailer from SmartPak. They seem to have good products and I would have the option to add a couple other supplements that both my horses need. Have any of you used SmartPak before for hoof growth (SmartSox or Smart Hoof)? The hoof growth is the most important one right now. SmartCombo may be an option also and versatile between horses? What are your thoughts? There is so many options out there. Thanks in advance! |

Location: Sunny So Cal | I use THE Hoof Growth. It really helped the quality of the hooves and did promote growth. What really encouraged growth was a thiamoxide and hoof growth salve Bob put together. You apply it to the sole of the hoof and mine grew like a weed. He made this product special because I was having a problem. If you call up and tell him he can formulate something special if you feel you really need it. |

The daily supplements of Muscle Mass or Performance Formula can have several different add in's for your horse's specific needs. I had it added for my horse that had the chipped dry feet. 100% money back guarantee and cost effective. I can get it to you for under a $1 a day shipped
