Equine Hoof Supplement
to Promote Healthy Hooves, a Stable Hoof Structure and Optimal
Hoof Growth
In line with the well-known principle "no hoof, no horse" it becomes clear how essential healthy hooves are for the entire horse. Hooves not only carry the full body weight, but also function as shock absorbers and play a key role in movement, stability, and performance. Even minor limitations in hoof health can therefore have major effects.
A healthy horse hoof requires a holistic approach. Proper hoof care by a farrier, daily maintenance, and suitable hoof protection are essential. This is exactly where our horseshoes and matching accessories come in – it is our daily focus.
However, hoof growth and overall hoof health are also significantly influenced from within. That is why we are expanding our range with one of the most renowned feed supplements, offering a holistic concept for healthy hooves from a single source.
Problems such as brittle hooves, cracks in the hoof wall or a weakened hoof structure often develop gradually, but can lead to serious issues over time. This makes it all the more important to take early action and provide targeted support for the hooves.
A balanced supply of the right nutrients forms the foundation for strong hoof horn and a stable hoof structure. A high-quality feed supplement for horses can help compensate for nutritional deficiencies and sustainably strengthen the natural resilience of the hooves.
Especially in horses with a weak hoof wall, cracked or brittle hooves, as well as slow hoof growth, targeted support through a feed supplement for horses can be beneficial.
One manufacturer of feed supplements is Life Data Labs, Inc., an ISO 9001-certified company and therefore part of a small group of manufacturers with a recognized high quality standard. The company was founded by Dr. Frank Gravlee, who specifically applied his veterinary and nutritional expertise to the development of high-quality equine supplements. With modern research, in-house production, and decades of experience, Life Data Labs, Inc. has established itself internationally and stands for scientifically proven quality in animal nutrition.
Feed Supplements for Maintaining and Regenerating Hoof Health
Farrier's Formula® – the original from Life Data Labs, Inc. – is a specially developed feed supplement for horses that can be used both to support long-term hoof health and during periods of increased stress or existing hoof problems. As a high-quality feed supplement for horses, it provides carefully selected nutrients that play an important role in the development and stability of the hoof horn.
Regular feeding can help promote hoof growth, improve hoof quality, and support hoof structure. Especially in horses with brittle or cracked hooves, a needs-based nutrient supply can help support natural regeneration and strengthen hoof resilience in the long term.
The effectiveness of Farrier's Formula® from Life Data Labs, Inc. is based on the targeted supply of essential nutrients, which serve as building blocks for the formation of keratin and collagen. These two structural proteins play a key role in the development of strong and elastic hoof horn. A balanced supply can therefore help create the conditions for stable, healthy hooves—without focusing on isolated nutrients, but rather on the interaction of multiple components.
What is Farrier's Formula®?
Farrier's Formula® Original is a globally established feed supplement from the manufacturer Life Data Labs, Inc., based on decades of research. The product has been developed over a period of more than 30 years and continuously refined to best meet the specific requirements of equine hoof health.
The focus is on a scientifically grounded approach: instead of relying on individual nutrients, Farrier's Formula® uses a targeted combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids that work together and complement each other.
This holistic composition makes the product one of the best-known and most frequently recommended feed supplements for horses, particularly among farriers and veterinarians.
Farrier's Formula® – The Original
Composition, Mode of Action, and Benefits
The key strength of Farrier's Formula® – the original – lies in its carefully designed composition. The product contains, among other ingredients:
- biotin to support hoof horn formation
- essential amino acids such as methionine as building blocks for keratin
- important trace element such as zinc and copper
- omega fatty acids to support cell structures
- phospholipids to promote nutrient utilization
The ingredients are carefully balanced to work together in supporting the formation of strong hoof horn and contributing to overall hoof resilience. This balanced combination allows Farrier's Formula® to help improve hoof structure, strengthen the hoof wall, and positively influence hoof horn quality. It may also support natural regeneration, particularly in horses with stressed or weakened hooves.
In practice, the product is often used in horses with brittle hooves or cracks in the hoof wall. Users frequently report visible improvements, although results may vary depending on factors such as feeding, housing, and hoof care.
Areas of use – versatile support for horse and hoof
The applications of Farrier's Formula® Original are diverse and extend beyond basic hoof care.
Supporting the hoof wall and hoof structure
The product can help support the stability of the hoof wall and improve nutrient supply in thin or brittle hoof walls. A balanced nutrient intake may also promote even hoof growth, especially in horses with sensitive or stressed hoof structures.
Supporting the Hoof Sole and Internal Hoof Health
The sole and the white line can also benefit from optimized nutrient supply. A needs-based intake can help support the overall resilience of the hoof and positively influence hoof condition.
Positive effects on Skin and Coat
Farrier's Formula® can also support the health of skin and coat in addition to hoof health. The fatty acids and nutrients it contains contribute to overall cell function and can help promote a well-maintained appearance of the coat, mane, and tail.
Application and Dosage of Farrier's Formula®
Farrier's Formula® – the original from Life Data Labs, Inc. – is administered daily as pellets mixed into the horse's feed. The palatable form makes it easy to feed and allows for simple integration into the daily feeding routine.
Dosage
The dosage depends on the horse's body weight:
- 225 kg → approx. 85 g daily
- 450 kg → approx. 170 g daily
- 675 kg → approx. 255 g daily
- 900 kg → approx. 340 g daily
After a feeding period of approximately six to eight months, the amount can be reduced by half if hoof quality is stable. If problems reoccur, it is recommended to return to the original dosage.
- Nursing foals: 43 g (60 ml) per day.
- Weanlings to adult horses: dosage as for adult horses, adjusted to the expected body weight according to the table.
Storage and Handling
To maintain product quality, Farrier's Formula® Original should always be stored in a cool, dry place and protected from direct sunlight. The packaging should be tightly closed after use to protect the ingredients from moisture.
As with all feed supplements: keep out of reach of children and use only according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Farrier's Formula® Original is sold in a 5 kg bucket. This quantity is sufficient for approximately 30 days for a 450 kg horse. In addition to the bucket, we also offer a 5 kg vacuum bag for refilling.
More than 30 years of research, clinical studies, and extensive field testing are behind every scoop of Farrier's Formula®. The balanced combination of high-quality micronutrients can support horses in building the foundation for strong connective tissue and healthy hoof growth. Visible changes such as a shinier coat and the growth of healthy hoof horn may develop over time—while important internal processes can also be positively influenced. In this way, Farrier's Formula® can contribute to the overall nutrition and well-being of your horse.
Especially in horses with brittle, cracked, or weak hooves, Farrier's Formula® offers an effective way to sustainably improve hoof quality and support regeneration.
Farrier's Formula® – the original – is a proven feed supplement for horses, but should always be used according to individual needs and in line with the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to consider the overall diet to avoid oversupplying individual nutrients. Effects may vary depending on the horse, management, and feeding, and it does not replace proper hoof care. In specific cases, it may be advisable to consult a veterinarian.
