Has anyone heard of Fastrack? My ferrier just recommended it to me to
promote hoof growth and strengthen the hoofs. According to the package,
it is "a source of live (viable) naturally-occuring microorganisms.
(Streptococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus)." The ingredients
are: yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae), rice hulls, calcium
carbonate, dried Streptococcus faecium fermentation product, dried
Lactobacillus acidophilus, Aspergillus oryzae, and Bacillus subtilis.
(?!)
My horse has trouble keeping shoes on up to eight weeks (has lost them
at five-six), but my ferrier says it's hard to shoe her at week six
because she doesn't have enough hoof growth, and that her hoofs need to
be stronger for the amount of riding I'm doing. A supplement may be in
order, but what do you guys use?
One person I asked (an ex-equine vet, now a small animal vet) said,
well, what kind of horse do you have; when I told him an arab he said,
well, arabs don't have feet. . . (??!!)
Thanks,
Eileen
