my initial reaction is: what are they using for hoof conditioner and how
often is it being used? i use fiebing's every other day on my horses...and
on occasion peanut oil (yes. peanut oil) during the winter months here in
northern new york.

my other question would be: how often are they seeing their farrier..and
could it be something the farrier is (or is not) doing?
