NEW, MORE EFFECTIVE FORMULA!

Check My Hooves has been developed to provide essential and diverse nutrients that support the normal health of a horse’s hooves – including growth, metabolism, elasticity, and strength.

Key nutrients for hoof growth and health include zinc, silicon, biotin, B vitamins, and sufficient protein, especially methionine, which is crucial for strong and resilient hooves.

Check My Hooves contains chia, MSM, dandelion root, bamboo, hawthorn berries, rosehip, seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum), Iceland moss, Bioplex® zinc chelate (1 dl / 75 g contains 340 mg zinc), nettle, and a pinch of love 🧡.

Ingredient Benefits

Chia is rich in omega fatty acids and high-quality protein that help maintain the hoof’s elasticity. It contains lysine and, importantly, methionine – an amino acid vital for hoof health and one of the key building blocks for keratin, which forms the structure of the hoof, coat, and skin.

Bamboo is rich in minerals such as potassium and silicon. As an excellent natural source of silicon, it supports the health of the skin, connective tissue, hair, and keratinized structures such as hooves.

Dandelion root provides vitamins including biotin (vitamin H), making it an excellent addition for supporting hoof nutrition.

Rosehip is a natural source of biotin, and vitamins C, E, and K, all of which promote hoof growth and horn quality.

Fenugreek adds valuable nutrients and proteins that further support hoof growth.

Iceland moss and seaweed are rich in vitamins and minerals, offering a natural boost of micronutrients that nourish hooves from within.

MSM – Natural Source of Sulfur

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) provides organic sulfur, a key component in keratin formation – essential for healthy hooves, coat, skin, and mane.
Sulfur also plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the lamellae, the "Velcro-like" structures inside the hoof that connect the outer wall to the inner soft tissue. Healthy lamellae are vital for hoof integrity and blood circulation; damage to them can lead to laminitis.
The sulfur in MSM is an essential part of collagen, keratin, and other structural proteins that maintain and repair lamellar tissue.

Zinc – Essential for Hoof Strength

Zinc is one of the most important trace elements for hoof health. It is a key building block in keratin production, the main structural protein of the hoof. Zinc supports:

Keratin formation → strong, durable hooves
Cell division and renewal → promotes growth and regeneration
Hoof wall density and resilience

Zinc deficiency may result in brittle, cracked, or easily chipping hooves.

Dosage:


Horse 500 kg:

1 dl per day, mixed with other feed.

1 dl = 75 g, containing 340 mg zinc.

If your horse suffers from poor hoof quality, it is always worth reviewing its overall diet.
Supplementing with internally nourishing herbs and plants such as rosehip, Iceland moss, yarrow, and seaweed/kelp can be beneficial.

For hoof cracks, you can support recovery by giving your horse nettle and horsetail internally and applying warm compresses made from sea salt and herbs externally.
Useful herbs include comfrey, ground flaxseed, dill, and lamb’s quarters leaves.
