Hi, I have been thinking about using ACV for my 14 year old thoroughbred for some time. She has always had cracked hooves and nothing seems to work. She is generally in good condition in the summer but drops condition very quickly when winter sets in and has a dull coat. I am struggling to find ACV in liquid form but have found many suppliers of capsules - do you know if these would be a good substitute and if so how many to feed?

Hiya Hanna, Try these for ACV and other horse supps.

I'm not into horses but buy from these and have found prices and service great.

I have used raw apple cider vinegar on my horses since last fall. One horse is 24 and of course predisposed to hoof rot and poor frog growth. Instead of putting him on antibiotics I decided to try the ACV as my vet suggested giving him 1/2 cup daily the next time the farrier came the growth looked really good and just minimal rot. It is very wet in East Texas so battling mud and slop is common, that was the first 6 weeks. It has been 18 weeks now and even though they have been walking and sometimes standing in mud his feet look really good, as well as the others as they have all been on the ACV. I used the raw for the first 12 weeks and have gone to a regular ACV w/o the mother in it for expense costs, but the results have been the same.
