FAQ

Is Happy Hoof suitable for horses with EMS or insulin dysregulation?

Happy Hoof is low in sugar and starch and Laminitis Trust approved, making it a suitable option for many horses with EMS or insulin dysregulation. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

How does it differ from Happy Hoof Molasses Free?

Happy Hoof Molasses Free is specifically formulated without any added molasses, making it even lower in sugar for horses that require the strictest sugar control. Standard Happy Hoof may contain a small amount of molasses for palatability.

How long before I see hoof improvements from biotin?

Biotin supports new hoof horn growth, so results take time to become visible as the hoof grows out — typically 6–9 months for a full hoof cycle. Consistent daily feeding is essential for best results.

Is it suitable for native breeds?

Yes — Happy Hoof is particularly well-suited to native breeds and good-doers that are prone to laminitis and weight gain.

Can I feed it to a horse in work?

Happy Hoof is designed for horses in rest or light work. Horses in moderate to hard work may need additional calorie sources to meet their energy requirements.
