Great results!
My mare's x-rays taken June 13th showed thin soles (9.5mm (L) and 10.2mm(R)). She was barefoot. I had her shoed with 4 degree wedge pads on June 18th and I started her on this supplement June 20th. I had her x-rayed again on September 19th and she is now 19mm (L) and 17.4mm (R). I am sold.

Making a difference
Purchased this in addition to the Smart Hoof supplement, as recommended by Smartpak for a TB I'm leasing who has poor growth, low heels, and weak, crumbly walls. Shoes weren't a possibility, her walls were so bad, and she was typically foot sore. After 3 months she shows good horn growth, and her farrier/owner noticed some heel growth as well. She is also more comfortable on her feet now.

Could believe how great it worked!
I’ve used this supplement on and off for my gelding with thin soles. However what truly sold me was after a recent trailer accident my mare tore up her hoof. I started this supplement that night for her. After 30 days her hoof is looking better than even the vet expected. I really believe that the added support has helped get her hoof granulating in and growing a little faster.

Horse refuses to eat it
My horse is a super picky eater, but sometimes he's weird, so I was reaaaaally hoping he would eat this despite the handful of not-palatable reviews. Nope. Absolutely will not touch it and will not finish his grain if it's in there, so unfortunately a bit of an expensive risk that didn't pay off. For what it's worth, a friend did have success with thickening her horse's soles from this, which is why I tried it.

Our horse has a club foot. I didn't need hoof growth, but something to keep his hoof and frog healthy. I know SmartHoof Circulate Pellets will do the trick in keeping his frog durable and healthy.

It really works!
I gave this a shot for my OTTB gelding almost 2 years ago now when I saw it in a magazine I got. My geldings feet were practically shrinking up and he had absolutely no foot. He couldn’t even walk because he was so sore. Now he is a happy and sound barefoot horse! Its taken almost 2 full hoof cycles to get his foot completely 100% healthy and where it needs to be trimming wise but I started seeing results in the new hoof growth within 4-5 months. I now have to trim him every 2-3 weeks with how fast his hoof grows! Before 6 weeks wasn’t even long enough because his foot was breaking faster than it was growing. I love this supplement!

No improvement
My gelding was diagnosed with caudal heel pain and has been on Smart Hoof Circulate for several months. He has not shown any improvement from this supplement, only with shoeing changes, so I cannot recommend it.

Amazing!
My 14 year old gelding has been on Smarthoof Circulate for about 6 months now. He has been off and on lame for a number of years, has navicular, bone chips, joint issues, etc. I have tried practically every product available on him. This is the first supplement that has really improved his feet. The connections are tighter, and he has 90% fewer cracks. Even my barefoot trimmer has started recommending it. It brought me to tears when I lunged him yesterday and he did not take one lame step. Truly a miracle!!

Works really well!!
I put one of my barre horses on this product about a year ago. When we first bought him he had very tender feet when walking across hard surfaces. He also had early stages of navicular in the fact that the hoof bulbs were very week from the previous owners having a pair of shoes on him all the time. Of corse this showed in his proformace as a barrel horse. He was often sore and just wasn’t preforming to his best. After using this product his feet hardened up and it is no longer tender for him to walk on hard surfaces. It has also helped in the arena because his feet are hardening up and become back to how they need to be. I would definitely recommend this product!!

awful palatibity!
Palatibility negative negative!!!bought for a horse that is not a picky eater at all and she wouldnt touch it... called and asked about the money back guarantee and smartpak said palatability is not in the guarantee, only if the product doesn’t work... well, if they aren’t going to eat it, it it not going to work!!!!! Even tried multiple things to get her to eat it. lost a lot of money on a supplement my horse wouldnt even eat...

Works great!
I added this to my TB mare's Smartpaks since I was told by the farrier she had very thin hoof walls. I had also read in a review that it could reduce stocking up which my horse is prone to. I am not sure how much it has done to improve her hoof walls since I also give her supplements with extra biotin, but it drastically reduced her stocking up, which I thought was amazing. I saw results immediately and I think it has been worth it to keep her on this so her hind legs are not so stocked up in the morning.

Poor palatability
After reading the reviews, I thought this would be really helpful for my horse but he refused to eat it!

worth every penny!
My horse has had on and off soundness issues related to his feet over the years, sometimes solved with pads or different shoes but often he had to have time off. Since putting him on SmartHoof Circulate he hasn't had sore feet once! As a bonus his legs never stock up from standing in his stall, even in the dead of summer in Florida! I can not recommend this product enough if you have any issues with circulation or poor hooves.

Very highly recommended & worth the price
Purchased on recommendation from my veterinarian for my OTTBs poor quality feet w/ not great hoof growth. After 4 months and with good farrier care, he hasn't thrown a single shoe, is no longer foot sore, and his feet are going in much stronger.

This has completely changed my horse's feet around in 2 months already. They're actually growing and they've helped so much with his heel soreness. I will continue to use this product!

Making a difference!
My 7 yo QH gelding has been on this for 90 days. I have only had him since October, but one of my main concerns with buying him was he has a grade 1 club foot on the left front - not easily noticeable, but his feet were not being shod properly. I loved the way he rode, his breeding and he was sound. After getting him home and having my farrier come out 911 he was shocked by the poor quality of the angles on his feet as well as how small of a shoe they had on him - he is not a small boy. When first being shod by my farrier we made such big adjustments he went up 3 shoe sizes and his angles were more correct than they had been in a long time! He would not bear weight on any of his feet without the shoe being reapplied - I’d never seen a horse be quite so tender footed. I decided to start him on this product and just 6 weeks later he could stand on his bare foot! We are not yet 100% and are continuing the transformation, but this supplement has helped!

Good
I use this in addition to special shoes and ophos shots to help my gelding with pre navicular symptoms. I've been using it for probably about 6 months. He hasn't taken a lame step, can't say if it's due to the shoes or supplement but I like to think it helps. Anything extra I can do to support him I will. Smartpak is the only company that offers any kind of supplement for this purpose. I do wish the price point was a little lower, but that is my only complaint. My gelding gobbles it up.

not pallitable
my horse would not only not eat it, he would not eat his feed as well if it was put in his feed. And I mixed it up, tried adding molasses, soaking the feed. Nothing.

Works well
I bought this a month ago for my navicular gelding. In addition to special shoes, this product has helped alleviate some of his pain. Even the farrier commented on the improvement. Seems pretty palatable. Definitely would recommend

Made heel pain worse
I started my QH/TB gelding on this hoping it would help with his navicular. I only kept him on this for a month, so I honestly can’t tell if it helped at all with any hoof growth, but it definitely did not help with his heel pain. In fact, I think it made it worse! About a week after I started this supplement he became 3 legged lame, and struggled to even walk across the pasture. This is a horse that normally only shows pain when walking over rocks or hard surfaces, or when he is due to get new shoes put on. I know it could be just a coincidence, but as soon as I stopped the supplement he was back to normal.

Great stuff!!!
I have a tough 17.2 hand crossbred gelding that is hard on his feet. He has always had hoof issue since I bought him. In my 8 years with him I have tried him on numerous hoof supplements due to his brittle hooves. I have been through a lot trying to manage them. This is the only supplement that has seemed to work. He has been on it now going 2 years and it has done wonders. His feet are not as brittle and he is not loosing shoes constantly. I have been able to keep him out of glue on shoes and honestly I can't praise this product enough. If you are on the fence or not sure you want to spend this much monthly...it is worth it. I was on a limited budget and just finished nursing school and made sure I was able afford my horse this supplement because I have seen such an improvement.

Not for my very allergic gelding: hives appeared
I can't review the efficacy of this because my gelding only got three doses, then he broke out in hives. He is extremely allergy prone. For example, last summer he was hospitalized for five days to treat hind leg cellulitus that was suddenly there when he came in from pasture, and he's had a ton of skin issues this summer.
The pellets were the only change to his diet/routine. He wasn't uncomfortable, and after two days without pellets, his hives disappeared, so just one of those things. I've learned to expect the unexpected with this guy.

So Far So Good....
Seems to be working as claimed... Will know more as continued useage results are more visual and prominent..... Happy with product to this point but have to give it a realistic time period to work over the next month or so, results should then be obvious, one way or another....

Quick response
Stared this about 6 weeks ago while that is not enough time to evaluate I have noticed some changes and my mare is doing great on this. She is an x founder and helps with the soreness and hood quality .

Not enough time to tell
My horse has only been in this product for less than a month so I can't tell about his hoof growth yet.
However, it is very palatable.
