She mentioned a woman in Emmett who had 3 minis that foundered (out of her 4). After a bunch of research and Melissa talking to the vet listed below, they are making a connection between diet\/nutrients and hoof health (and health in general), specifically magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride, among other things, seems to be one of the important links to healthy hooves. Read the article and if you have questions or questionable horse hoof issues, contact either Melissa or Madison and they may be able to help you. I know Melissa continually studies so she\u2019s on top of the latest and greatest in the equine podiatry scene. If you have pasture, you can have your soil tested at Western Laboratories (Ellen and Charles have had this done) to see what may be missing in your soil.<\/p>\n<p>Seamans, Madison MS DVM<br \/>\nVeterinarian<br \/>\nCornerstone Equine Medical Services<br \/>\nSpecialty: In Depth Podiatry<br \/>\nmadisonseamans@gmail.com<br \/>\n208-365-4085<br \/>\nKuna, ID<\/p>\n<p>Smith, Melissa NT<br \/>\nCertified Equine Podiatrist,<br \/>\nPathology Rehabilitation,<br \/>\nInstructor<br \/>\nbarefoottrim@msn.com<br \/>\n208-880-1667<br \/>\nWilder, ID<\/p>\n<p>Soil testing (Parma): $50<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.westernlaboratories.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.westernlaboratories.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gravelproofhoof.org\/#!hoof\/c10gy\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2609\" src=\"https:\/\/sbbch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/gph2.jpg\" alt=\"gph2\" width=\"993\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sbbch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/gph2.jpg 993w, https:\/\/sbbch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/gph2-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted by Lou Ann \u00a0&#8211; \u00a0July 2015 My farrier\/equine podiatrist, Melissa Smith, pointed me to this article: http:\/\/www.gravelproofhoof.org\/.
