It contains an advanced blend of vital amino acids allowing Keratin synthesis, necessary for the tough structure of the hoof wall. Hardy Hoof™\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecomprises chelated Copper, Zinc and Manganese optimising mineral absorption. Copper and Zinc stimulate cell growth and Keratin production whilst Manganese supports the internal structures of the hoof. Calcium and high levels of Biotin ensure optimal hoof health, alongside high-oil Linseed which retains moisture whilst maintaining low starch and sugar levels. Iodine aids thyroid function, necessary for hoof quality and Lecithin maintains optimum moisture level and pliability of hooves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-spec-title\"\u003eFeeding Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-spec-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eWeight of Horse\/Pony\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eAmount per day                                       \u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 250kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 scoop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250kg - 400kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 ½ scoops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400kg - 600kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 scoops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 600kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 scoops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 level (50ml) scoop of Hardy Hoof™weighs approximately 33g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes approximately 8-12 months for hoof horn to grow from the coronary band to the weight-bearing surface.

This is a structural protein also found in hair, wool, skin and fingernails, and is made up of certain amino acids. Providing the amino acids \u003cstrong\u003eMethionine, Threonine and Lysine,\u003c\/strong\u003ewhich are present in high levels in Hardy Hoof™, allows Keratin synthesis, with Methionine being of particular importance because the horse can convert this into Cysteine, the amino acid that gives Keratin its strength and structure. In order for this to happen, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) must also be present. Ensuring a sufficient supply of these hoof-building nutrients helps promote healthy hoof structure, flexibility, and wear resistance, making Hardy Hoof™ an excellent choice for horses with thin soles, cracked hooves, or those who simply need extra hoof support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvances in science have allowed us to go even further with supporting hoof strength and quality through incorporating \u003cstrong\u003echelation technology\u003c\/strong\u003e in the Hardy Hoof™\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eformulation. Chelation involves the binding of minerals (nutritionally classed as metals) to another molecule with the purpose of increasing absorption and stability within the horse's gastrointestinal tract. Copper, Zinc and Manganese are chelated to the amino acid Glycine facilitating the absorption of the minerals as well as preventing them from binding to other nutrients and maximising overall nutrient utilisation within your horse. Copper and Zinc support cell growth and maintain Keratin production whilst Manganese supports the internal structures in the hoof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopper\u003c\/strong\u003e is an essential component in the building of Keratin bridges in the hoof, as it is a copper-dependent enzyme in cells that is responsible for building junctions between several proteins. Thus, if Copper is deficient the enzyme is compromised, affecting the Keratin bridge structure which ultimately could affect the hoof’s wear resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium\u003c\/strong\u003e is a macro-mineral that plays an important role in the formation of bones, muscles, teeth, and virtually every other structure in the horse’s body. Calcium is also crucial for good hoof growth. Calcium is necessary for the adhesion of one cell to the next, which is of particular importance in hooves, where cells are arranged tightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the amino acids and minerals, Hardy Hoof™\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003econtains the highly researched B Vitamin, \u003cstrong\u003eBiotin\u003c\/strong\u003e.  This vitamin significantly supports hoof health, growth rate and strength, Hardy Hoof™\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003econtains a daily supply of 30mg of Biotin per 500kg horse to ensure an optimal dose for maintaining hoof growth and health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, \u003cstrong\u003eMethyl sulphonyl methane (MSM)\u003c\/strong\u003e is included in Hardy Hoof™ as it is an excellent source of dietary Sulphur, a mineral necessary for the integrity of the hoof wall due to its role in bonding protein strands in the hoof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardy Hoof™\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ealso contains \u003cstrong\u003eIodine\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is essential for maintaining your horse’s healthy thyroid function, which in turn is necessary for hoof and hair quality. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003eLinseed\u003c\/strong\u003e is widely used to support hoof quality, as it is rich in essential fatty acids, which help to seal moisture into the hoof. When combined with the phospholipid Lecithin (which is rich in Choline for cell flexibility) this supports the pliability of the hooves, and helps to maintain the optimum moisture level, stopping the hooves from absorbing external moisture. Hay diets, in particular, may be low in fatty acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those wondering, \"How long do hoof supplements take to work?\", it is important to understand that hoof growth is a slow process, and it takes approximately 9 months for the new hoof horn to grow from the coronary band down to the weight-bearing surface. However, consistent use of Hardy Hoof™ provides the key nutrients required for long-term hoof strength, resilience, and flexibility. Whether you are looking for a solution for cracked hooves, or a way to strengthen your horse’s thin soles, Hardy Hoof™ delivers scientifically backed nutrition to support optimal hoof health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv bis_skin_checked=\"1\" class=\"product-descriptions\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv
