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 with feeding/soaking/oiling ideas?
And yes I am already looking for a second opinion....but need to do something until I can gt it.
