Correction......the only thing they have in common is bran, carrots and farrier......I do not know if that would have anything to do with it, but we had a horse (Arab-Saddlebred) go severely lame and had terrible hoof problems because of the farrier...he said he had bad hoofs and they were prone to cracking....that was not it at all, we had another farrier come out and do the shoeing and trimming and he improved 50% on the first shoeing, and was not lame anymore after 6 weeks on the second shoeing. But we went through 6 months of lameness and not being able to ride. Sure was a lot of money..... The new farrier said he had great hooves, which is what the vet said before we purchased him. Good luck! Storme
