Location: Willows, CA		As someone mentioned above, you need quality protein, proper minerals and a fully functioning hind gut. Lysine,methionine and zinc will promote the best growth. A proper functioning hind gut will produce all the biotin that a horse can use. Some additional alfalfa should help your diet. There is no fast way to grow hoof wall.

TheDutchMan01 - 2017-01-19 12:54 PM I heard an old trick is to feed powdered milk. The guy that told me about it fed it to one that had a section of its hoof cut out and he said it helped it to grow out a lot faster.

And, it really works. Calf milk replacer is a Godsend, in my opinion. I had a mare that had awful feet. So, I started putting powdered milk replacer in her feed, along with one pack of Jello 2x daily. After about 3 months... I couldn't keep up with her feet.
