Strong, healthy hooves are the foundation of every sound horse. Poor hoof quality can often be linked to an unbalanced diet, where the horse isn’t receiving enough of the essential nutrients needed for proper growth and strength. That’s why Equiform Nutrition has developed targeted supplements to support hoof health from the inside out – Happy Farrier Powder and Excel Biotin.
Why Hoof Health Matters
Hoof problems often occur when a horse’s diet lacks the vitamins and minerals required to ensure proper growth and durability. Weak hoof walls can lead to cracks, brittleness, or soreness, particularly in horses that work hard or are on less-than-ideal ground conditions. Providing balanced nutrition is key to maintaining strong, resilient hooves that can withstand the demands of training, turnout and competition.
Happy Farrier Powder – Comprehensive Hoof Support
Happy Farrier Powder provides increased support for horses with high demands for hoof care. It contains essential nutrients including methionine, biotin, copper, and zinc—all critical for hoof growth and maintenance. These ingredients work together to strengthen the hoof structure and promote consistent, healthy growth.
Benefits
- Provides 20mg of Biotin per day for improved hoof quality
- Ideal for horses with soft, crumbly, or brittle hooves
- Helps reduce issues such as sand cracks and weak horn
- Contains methionine and biotin, which support keratin formation

Feeding Instructions

- Ponies: 15g per day
Adding Happy Farrier Powder to your horse’s diet helps strengthen and protect the hooves, making it especially beneficial for horses with dry, brittle, or easily damaged feet.
Excel Biotin – Essential Daily Hoof Support in Liquid Form
For horses that need an additional biotin boost, Excel Biotin provides an easy-to-feed liquid supplement for maximum absorption. Containing 10mg of biotin per 30ml, it helps maintain healthy hoof horn, skin, and coat condition.
Biotin, a sulphur-containing vitamin, is crucial for the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrate, and is directly linked to the formation of strong hoof horn. When paired with methionine– a sulphur-containing amino acid- it promotes optimal hoof strength and structure. The addition of zinc further supports normal cell metabolism, aiding hoof growth and repair.
Feeding Instructions
- 30ml per horse per day
Excel Biotin is also formulated on a palatable base of honey and pure glucose, making it easy for horses to accept. It contains no banned substances
Building Stronger Hooves from the Inside Out
Whether you choose Happy Farrier Powder for enhanced, long-term support or Excel Biotin for a daily boost, both products provide the key nutrients required for healthy hoof development and maintenance.
