During the summer and sometimes winter, horses hooves will often get dry and crack, just like human skin will get dry and flakey. If their hooves are dry it can effect the way they run or walk.
The answer to the problem was hoof oil. I already had store bought hoof oil but I couldn't pronounce half of the ingredients on the label. So I decided to make my own because I wanted a more natural remedy.
During the research process I had a hard time finding a good recipe. I tried making and using multiple recipes but most of them didn't work. Until I found a great all natural one that strengthens hooves.
