Strong hooves always need a high nutrient density diet.

Getting the balance right of magnesium, zinc and copper is critical, not just adding them in, but providing them in the correct ratios, matched to grass and hay, so they can actually be absorbed and used.

Magnesium plays a key role in metabolism and is essential for supporting a well-connected, resilient laminae structure. Zinc and copper are fundamental for keratin formation and hoof integrity, but without balance, absorption is compromised.

Protein drives hoof quality, but it’s not just “protein levels.”

Always we must address the availability of all essential amino acids across the total daily diet. Each element of your horses diet matters for balance and absorption. The body will always prioritise vital organs and systems first… so hooves only benefit when there is enough left over to build strong, durable horn, white line connection and frog health.

Our database of over 12,000 samples of forage shows us what hooves need.

What we typically suggest for hoof support:
• Copper: 400 mg
• Zinc: 1200 mg
• Magnesium: 12 g

Essential amino acids:
• Lysine: 10 g
• Methionine: minimum 5 g

You should increase methionine to 10 g/day where hoof issues are present

Then:
• Increase overall protein by 100 g/day using a quality protein source (500 kg horse)
• Consider adding a full-spectrum essential amino acid supplement (all 9 EAAs)

💡 Feed these amino acids in a small meal after work because this is when the body is most primed to absorb and utilise these nutrients effectively.

Balance first, matched to forage. Then build. That’s how you grow stronger hooves.
