Life Data® Compose 2x Testimonial:
"This year, we got the supplement Compose 2X. We started giving it on July 1st, and of course, people were doing fireworks all week, but Mariah and Ebony were much calmer. They were not pacing, and they were breathing normally." - Judy L

Our farrier friend, Darren Owen, recently worked on a horse that suffered an unfortunate sole puncture in one of its hooves from a “wracked” shoe. The injury has caused lameness, and a visual infection has developed in the area. In this situation, it is essential to have your farrier address the issue as soon as possible and to follow the treatment instructions for a quick recovery.

Feeding a quality hoof supplement, such as Farrier’s Formula® Double Strength, will help promote sole growth to quicken the time for the injury to grow out. Flushing the wound with a non-caustic hoof topical like Farrier’s Finish® will also help prevent future infections and kill any current bacterial and microbial invasions.

Once the wound has been cleaned out and the infection has been drained, Life Data® Hoof Clay® can be used to pack the area for additional protection.

Another great Farrier Tip from our farrier friend Shane Westman. Shane utilizes an inexpensive foam gardening knee pad to help with hooves that are difficult to balance. Watching how the hoof compresses the foam, Shane can determine how to guide the trim. This is an option he uses when high-quality radiographs are not available to him.

Hoof balance is essential for maintaining your horse’s hoof quality. Many hoof issues can arise if hooves are not properly balanced. Ensuring your horse’s hooves are balanced is one of the many reasons why it is important to maintain a regular farrier schedule.

The Fourth of July is a few weeks away, and many of our horses become anxious and nervous due to the loud booms of fireworks. Providing Compose® 2x can keep your horse calm during the celebrations. Although it can be fed "as needed," providing it daily for one week leading up to July 4th will produce optimal results!

Compose® 2x is a concentrated calming supplement for horses. It is a safe alternative to sedation with no side effects or loss of alertness.

With Thrush and White Line Disease, the first line of defense from environmental microbes invading the hoof capsule is a “sound” hoof wall structure. Farrier’s Formula® provides the essential nutrients needed to support and build a sound hoof wall and dense frog and sole tissue.

Here are recommended steps horse owners can take to improve and maintain hoof quality:
• Provide Quality Nutrition to Promote Hoof Health
• Regulate Hoof Moisture Balance in Excessively Wet or Dry Conditions
• Protect from Environmental Factors with Non-Caustic Hoof Topicals
• Maintain a Regular Farrier Schedule
• Pick and Clean Hooves Daily

Many hoof topicals for Thrush and White Line Disease are caustic. The caustic ingredients in these topicals may temporarily destroy harmful bacteria, but also harm healthy hoof tissue, block oxygen, and burn sensitive areas. The resulting denatured proteins create an ideal environment, and a nutrient source, for harmful bacteria to thrive. This often leads to a pattern of recurring Thrush and poor hoof quality. This video discusses how these caustic ingredients affect the hoof and provides recommendations for safe, non-caustic topicals to use.

"The Story of Daisy May. Daisy came down with both abscesses and a HORRIBLE case of laminitis. She is also Insulin Resistant. I had her on a number of supplements, as well as Thyro-L. Her supplements were HS35, Remission, and Insulin Wise. We had her on reverse horseshoes, where the opening is at the toe. She was in so much pain that she could barely stand. She lay in her stall for weeks. I was heartbroken and ready to let her go if we couldn't control her pain.

I spoke with Life Data, who helped me with the supplements. We went over all the ingredients to make sure she was on the right stuff! They did some research and called me back to tell me she was too high on many things. We eliminated all the supplements and put her on Farrier’s Formula Double Strength and Life Data Lamina Formula. She was still very foot sore even with backward shoes and Soft Ride Boots. We pulled her shoes and had her in just boots. That change, along with her two supplements, saved her life. She always has a grazing muzzle on when turned out with the other horses. She gradually got better and better. I took videos to document her improvements."
