I used to have chickens and I fed the horses eggs once a week on their bran 
mashes, usually one egg per horse.  I have heard that the raw eggs can cause 
problems with binding biotin, but I never had that problem and I always fed 
them raw.  I also heard of an Arab stallion, can't remember who at the 
moment, who was fed a raw egg a day and his hooves were fine.
