Was wondering what you thought about giving jello gelitn to a horse the powder say a tablespoon once daily mixed with grain to help with hoof health? Or what amount, humans eat it, and drink it for nail growth!
She's a 1/2 arb/qh 4 yr mare.
She's has this very stuborn ***** in the center running top to bottom for a YEAR, the farrier she's certified said it's not all the way through it's it's bugging me more than her, but a ***** isn't good. I've tryed the horseshoers sercet and she coliced, so I'm not going that rout anymore. She's not lame, sore or anything I just would like it to start growing out without the *****.
She's "healthy as a horse" per the vet, and per the farrier hooves are great. She get proper feed, care, yrly exam, wormings you name she get it. This is just a stubborn ***** "hair line" front hoof from the coronary band down, it's been over a yr, tryed lots and it won't grow out!!!! Don't get it.

melissa asked:


What would be a good size area to keep a single horse or a pair of horses? How much money is needed to care for a horse for a year? Not for a fancy show horse or race horse, Just a simple pleasure riding horse that's about maybe 10 years or older.
Are there any good horses or ponies that would do well in a slightly smaller area than most? Besides mini's
