Having the right copper zinc amount and ration is also very imprtant for growing a strong hoof.
As usual, lots of "food for thought." I hope you will find a way to explore enhancing grazing areas with plants proven to be equine friendly. I follow track system posts, but we can't do that at our boarding barn with multiple pastures. However, we've got a 9x12 foot area that was bordered with landscape timbers a couple of years ago to create a camp water obstacle, and we'd like to try planting that for a hand grazing boost as an experiment. I'm having a hard time finding recommendations on what we might be able to grow in this area. (and, yes, our horses love seeking dandelions outside the pastures)
What about iron and its role in endocrine issues?
@dittephillips 1368 Iron interferes with the uptake of copper and zinc where you want a ration of 1 part copper to 3 parts zinc. Hay and water can have high iron so both should be tested Or your ag extention service should have an average analysis for a region. Then you would balance the copper and zinc to that number. A lot of folk with high iron in their water put in an inexpensive filter to lower or remove iron from the water. I know this doesn't answer your question but I suspect there is a relationship with everything a horse ingests to its health and condition. I am not a vet but a continual learner and student of the horse.
