Healthy hooves don’t happen by accident, they are built from the inside out. Two nutrients, biotin and methionine, are essential partners in this process. While biotin drives hoof growth, methionine provides the strength that makes those hooves durable. Without the right balance, supplements may not deliver the results your horse needs.
Methionine is an essential amino acid that horses must get from their diet. It is one of the main sources of sulfur, which is required to form the disulfide bonds that give keratin its toughness.
Without methionine, a horse’s hooves may grow but remain weak, soft, or prone to breaking.
Biotin and methionine are often compared to building a house:
Providing one without the other means the hoof is either incomplete (slow growth) or unstable (weak structure). Together, they ensure hooves are both healthy and durable.
Studies show that horses supplemented with biotin alone may see some improvement, but the best results occur when biotin and methionine are combined with trace minerals like zinc and copper. That’s why complete, balanced supplements consistently outperform single-ingredient formulas.
Farrier’s Magic Plus hoof supplement was created to deliver this exact balance:
With Farrier’s Magic Plus, your horse receives the nutrients needed for hooves that not only grow well but also stay strong and resilient.
Methionine and biotin are essential partners for hoof strength. While biotin stimulates hoof growth, methionine ensures the structure is strong and durable. Farrier’s Magic Plus brings these two nutrients together with supporting minerals, for the complete solution to hoof health.
