Ridecamp: Fw: [horsescience] Re: [RC] Stimulating hoof growth

I read a report some time ago (maybe Equus) of a test on this.    The result
seem to be that massage around the coronet band, without anything, gave as
good a result as using reducine or some other substance.  Seemed the rubbing
alone was enough to help stimulate growth.
