More on hoof health. Something you might like to add to your landscape are hedges of rugosa roses. Planted densely they need very little in the way of stock fencing provided grazing is intermittant.I have found that horses tend to leave these hedges alone given they are very prickly.The rose hips are excellent as a hoof tonic. Not only do they supply high doses of vitamin C but also pectins which help with tensile strength. I pick rose petals along with calendula to add to feeds. Calendula petals have anti-oxidants known to help prevent macular degeneration. WE have been asked by a local optometrist to look at producing a concentrated extract for his practice.
