My horse's hooves are so dry that the vet wants me to soak them in water and put some kind of oil on them. He suggested fish oil as it is all natural but does not know where to get it. Any…Continue

Probably cod liver oil would be suitable. I can get it at the drugstore but it is very expensive. I would rather give that in his feed. This vet is older and said he used to use it on his horses all the time but he cannot get it anymore. It must…

Thank you all for your suggestions. I do know it isn't just dry hooves...can't be but had to start somewhere. I needed bute to make him comfortable and since I just moved here they will not give me any bute without looking at the horse.…

Hi, Janice: You could likely donate him to the University of Washington at Pullman. He sounds like he has a club foot, which has perhaps not been properly managed by your farrier(s) to date. As I said before, there are many ligament and tendon…

Thank all of you for your suggestions. I am in the process of having a equine lameness specialist look at the xrays. I have 8 other horses of various ages ( 1 is 31) and they are all on the same grass pasture and have to wade into the same spring…

Last summer for dry feet I started spraying them with PAM cooking oil spray upon suggestion from a friend. I had my doubts, but it actually worked well, and at three bucks a can, it doesn't break the bank! I would just hose the feet and then…

Hi, Janice: This diagnosis sounds a little "fishy" to me. There are many ligaments and tendons running through the pastern joint and inserting under and around the navicular and pedal bones, and one ore more of those is much more likely…

If you're in the U.S., you can get Cod Liver Oil at the GNC. I've fed Cod Liver Oil before. It's got quite a lot of Vitamins A & E. I would put more confidence in the feeding of it than in the topical application of it, or any…

Well Janice I have never heard of putting fish oil on horses hoofs, it might be a bit easier to get some of the hundreds of preperations that are in any saddlery shop!!! One of the things we do here sometimes is let a trough overflow a bit so there…

dry hooves

My horse's hooves are so dry that the vet wants me to soak them in water and put some kind of oil on them. He suggested fish oil as it is all natural but does not know where to get it. Any suggestions? I mean these hooves are so dry that the frogs are very hard! We intitially thought it was a navicular problem but $500 of xrays proves it is not...now he says it may be the hooves are so dry that they have contracted and started to compress the interior structures of the hoof. Any body out there…See More

How exciting! I would talk to your vet and farrier about what type of workspace might help them. For example to do teeth, your vet may need somewhere they can hang the horse's head from. Lighting for the farrier can be important too. Your vet…

Hi, Janice: There's a dressage trainer just up the road from you in DeWinton (actually, there are several). Check out Cadence Stables online (just Google them) and call Kelly Carter there. She's not breed biased, doesn't care if you…
