Feedmark Barefoot Formula (Equine)
Natural nutrients to keep hooves hard and healthy.
Barefoot Formula™ is ideal for horses following a natural “barefoot” feeding regime as it contains 100% natural ingredients. These include Rosehips for their beneficial antioxidising and soothing properties; Micronised linseed, a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for maintaining healthy hoof tissue; Brewer’s yeast, a natural source of amino acids; and B Vitamins including Biotin to promote quality hoof growth. Seaweed is also added as a source of bioavailable minerals which are essential for hoof horn health and growth.
Many people choose to keep their horses barefoot rather than shod. To be able to do this effectively and allow the horse to be ridden over a variety of surfaces, the diet must provide the horse with all the nutrients that they need to keep hooves hard and healthy. If you choose not to feed synthetically made vitamins and minerals this can be more difficult, but Feedmark have a 100% natural supplement to help keep your barefoot horse sound.
Barefoot Formula™ is a combination of Seaweed, Rosehips, Brewer’s yeast, Micronised linseed and Magnesium oxide, which contain essential vitamins, minerals, oils and amino acids necessary for healthy hoof horn growth.
