{I feed him half straight grass and half timothy. He gets about a cup of
bran with carrots every night and on Sundays he gets a cup of barley with
carrots, these are made with warm water. In his pan I give him hoof
supplements.

I have read with interest all the responses to this post, no one has
mentioned protein deficiency. I thought that hair and nails in humans and
by extension, the hoofs on horses are fed by protein in the diet.
Because no one else mentioned it , and I highly respect the horse knowledge
contained within the members of this list, I assume I am way off base on
this.
Would protein play a role in the growth of strong hooves?
