Review on Manna Pro Sho-Hoof Supplement: 5-Pound Biotin and Zinc Methionine for Optimal Horse Hoof Health by Patrick Hilzer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing results in a short time

My pony has a navicular bone since 2017. I kept her in the pasture 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and her paws were always struggling with the growing sole and healing. 4.5 years of wedge shaped pads with different shoes and even Hunton's glue on her shoes because her walls were too thin for nails this year. Gave her regular biotin supplements and didn't see any improvement so I started giving her hooves in June. In just 2 months her walls, soles and healing have grown to the point where we no longer need a wedge shaped pillow! At the end of July we moved into a barn where she got a stall to get rid of the constant dampness. She has ruptured 3 abscesses in 3 months in her last barn and it has been a serious struggle with her sore leg. Since we moved her to a new stable, her pads are no longer needed and x-rays show lots of hooves and soles. We went from a 6-7 week shoe cycle to a 4-5 week shoe cycle. I'm not sure I'll need this addition permanently as we seem to have placed her feet where we need them, but she'll keep them on a little longer and take them off for the winter. I want to compare them in the new barn with the old barn. Super happy with the results! First time in 4.5 years and he wasn't sensitive to hoof tester on left foot! Navicular is not a death sentence! This is gold for those in my situation!
