Good Supplement
I started my gelding who is having severe hoof wall problems on this supplement about two months ago now and am anxiously anticipating his next shoeing to hear the feedback from my farrier about what it has done for his feet! So far I can tell he LOVES the taste of them! They are a little pricy but I'm hoping well worth it considering the current severity of his hooves.

Helped with hoof soreness
I have a 4 year old OTTB with terrible feet. We decided to pull his shoes and give him some time off to let his feet grow out. I ordered SmartHoof Circulate because I was hoping that this would help his foot soreness. He is also on double strength Farrier's Formula to help improve new hoof growth. I have been very pleased with this supplement - although he is on a combination of supplements and hoof topicals I do feel that this product is helping his hoof soreness. It has been 5 weeks since we pulled his shoes, his feet look quite good for being barefoot and he is comfortable enough to ride lightly in the ring. He is also a picky eater but eats this no problem.

Caused SWELLING
I have faith in SmartPak products, but this product caused swelling in all four legs. No other changes were made in feed, environment, exercise. We used water therapy and discontinued use of SmartHoof Circulate. It took almost a week to get the swelling down. This was a 27 year old Qtr/TB gelding with no prior health issues. We were hoping to encourage better hoof growth.
We waited another week and tried the pellets again. Same result - all four legs swelled. The second time it was harder to get the swelling down, but I wanted proof
positive that it was the product causing the swelling.

Excellent product
For several years I rode my horse with hoof boots just on the front. Trying to go the all natural route. However, my mare's feet were really sensitive on the dirt road so we could only walk and rarely trot. I also had to use the boots when riding on grass. Even in the woods her feet were sensitive to tree roots etc on the trail. I finally put front shoes on her. She did better but not as well as I had hoped. Her back feet were still really sensitive and again we could only walk on any area that had stones. I decided to give this product a try during the winter. I started giving it to her shortly before her shoes came off for the winter, when she was stalled at night and riding in the indoor when it wasn't too cold. In previous years the hard, rough, frozen ground she was also sensitive to. I was very pleased over the winter to see the sensitivity diminishing. In the spring she got 4 shoes. She goes on any dirt road now, at the walk, trot and canter with only an occasional ouch if she steps on a larger stone, not unlike any other horse. I am super happy with this product and wish I had started it years ago. Also my horse is the pickiest eater ever and mixed with her small amount of grain, she eats this. Thanks Smartpak!!

This got me back in the ring
Fall 2014, my show horse went really lame. The vet x-rayed and naturally diagnosed her with founder and laminitis. Her feet and walls looked awful. He told me I could never show her again. The picture was taken May 23,2015. Her feet and walls look amazing and my new farrier is pumped at how much foot she has grown.Thanks to Smart Hoof Circulate and Smart Hoof Pellets. I did what Smart Pak said to do: Had a Great Ride.

I have been buying this product for about a year. Not sure if it helps my guy or not- he is also on long term NSAID use.

Seeing Downhill Comfort Improve
It looks like my gelding is getting more comfortable going downhill. He is currently on rehab program so we haven't tackled the big steep hill down to the local lake trails...yet. He has been on the supplement about 6 weeks. I hope to keep seeing further improvement. We're doing the lake trails next month. That will be the 'acid' test. So far, so good!

Very Effective
We have been bringing my 19 year old jumper back from a hoof injury last year. We have been able to take him off isoxoprene and use only the circulate supplement with great results. He is progressing nicely. Thank you Oh he is an extremely picky eater.

Not picky eater approved
Waiting for my next farrier appointment to see if there is an improvement. It's not picky eater approved. My horse hates the taste and drops any grain and the supplement on the floor.

No Change
I added this to my PSSM gelding's SmartPak to see if it would help his comfort level. His feet always seemed tender on any surface that wasn't level or forgiving (gravel, any sort of stone, walking down pavement, frozen ground) and my trainer recommended I give this product a try after she used it in her own horse that has navicular and we both saw amazing results. While my gelding ate it with no problem or fuss for the time that I have used it, I haven't seen it produce any results when it comes to his tender toes. Because of what I have seen it do for other horses, I would still recommend giving it a shot, but it wasn't for my guy, unfortunately.

My mare has navicular and a club foot. We have struggled with her feet and after starting her on this supplement she had enough growth she needed a trim after 3 weeks.

Great Results
I have been feeding this supplement for awhile now and I wouldn't think of taking him off of it. I noticed a difference after about 2 months in his stride and overall attitude while under saddle. This supplement I feel has given me my horse back!

The miracle supplement
I rescued a horse from slaughter a month and a half ago. She had infections in both hind legs that affected her coronary bands and her hoof wall broke off leaving her with no healthy hoof to support her. After 3 days on this supplement I noticed a huge difference in her coronary bands, they had started to rise. Originallythe vet and farrier thought she would not grow a solid hoof, but now after 6 weeks on smart circulate you can see the healthy hoof growing in.

Helped reverse a bad farrier job!
I tried out a new farrier when moving barns, and after two months, my horse came up dead lame. We discovered he had developed corns from having shoes that were too small, heel soreness because his feet weren't trimmed properly, and the farrier had pared out entirely too much sole. My horse finally was serviceably sound after 2 months, and we put him back into light riding. When I got my old farrier out, we discovered my horse had a corn on his other foot as well, and that the corns the were already existent were still growing out. I decided to try this product to see if it would further help stimulate hoof growth, get those bruises grown out, and get my horse producing more sole. I already have him on SmartHoof Ultra (fed as part of SmartCombo Ultra). He has been on this product for about a month, and today the farrier came to reset his shoes and trim him. The corns on his one foot were completely gone, and he had grown in more sole. The corn on his other foot was barely visible, and that foot had grown in more sole as well. The farrier commented on how much nicer his feet looked, and that we are finally back on track. I fully believe that SmartHoof Ultra & SmartHoof Circulate had a lot to do with this recovery. I saw it with my own eyes. My horse is comfortable on his feet again, and he doesn't come up sore. I will be making this a permanent part of his regimen. Also, because this product can be irritating to horses with ulcers (and my horse has ulcers), I also did a maintenance dose of GastroGard as well as had him on SmartDigest Ultra and SmartGut Ultra. I haven't noticed any irritation thus far.

Seems to be helping my horse's navicular issues
I first started giving this supplement when my vet suggested a prescription drug that would basically do the same thing. Although the time, smartpak was clearancing out their older formula for smart sox so I decided at the hugely discounted price it was worth a try over the prescription. His slight head bob at the jog has improved so I've kept him on it since.

So far so good
I'm on the second month of smart hoof. I switched to this from the life data supplement in an effort to improve hoof quality and soundness in an OTTB we have. My daughter was home over Thanksgiving break and rode this horse a few times. He is not shod and he was totally sound. First time since he left the track over a year ago. So at this point....I'm thrilled. May add the life data back in to help with hoof wall strength.

This Product Has Put My Mare Back in the Game
I cannot gush enough about this supplement. My warmblood mare has terrible feet, particularly her front right, and gets chronic abcesses due to sensitive soles. As an eventer and a resident of one of the swampiest regions in the nation, you can imagine how much this negatively impacted us as a team. I was spending hundreds of dollars a month on farrier services just to keep her 50/50 sound especially in the wet season. Another boarder tried Smartsox on her mare who had ouchy heels and had near instant results so I thought it couldn't hurt to try.
She has been on the supplement 6 months now and I am never taking her off of it. It has paid for itself a billion times over. The worst of the wet season has come and gone without a single abcess (knock on wood) and I no longer have to use expensive pads with her shoes. The farrier has been repeatedly complementing the noticeable improvement of her feet. On top of that, you can literally see the line on her feet of the pre and post Smartsox hoof growth, it's that significant! Also frequent thrush issues are gone as an added bonus. She steps confidently now and that is priceless.
Thank you Smartsox! If you are thinking of trying this, do it.

Excellent product!
My trail gelding has been on this product for nearly 6 weeks and my farrier cannot believe the change in his hooves! Not only do his hooves look healthier, but he is no longer "ouchy" when he walks on gravel barefoot after pulling his shoes for the Winter yesterday. Who knows, I may be able to leave him barefoot year round!

Mario's feet were in bad shape when I bought him he had contracted heels and was touchy on stones. With corrective shoes and the help of this product he is growing out his heel and seems less ouchy when riding on hard ground

Helped Navicular Mule
My mule comes up lame frequently, unable to walk, front soreness, choppy walk, typically navicular signs. After using SmartSox for 3 days he began showing signs of improvement. Now just a month later he is running and doing well.

Put an end to persistent thrush
I had been fighting a persistent thrush infection in my pony for 5 months that had my vet perplexed. After several weeks on smartsox his frog tissue began looking more normal. He has now been on the supplement for eight weeks and he shows no sign of infection.
