Is this an Arab? I think you should just start
putting her on SOMETHING... Farrier's Formula
if you already have it. All I know is that
you need more than just Biotin to get this
to work. Both also have the supporting
Lycine and Methionine and Cystene, etc.

I'm not sure anyone knows how much biotin is
actually needed. Some say the more the better.
Overkill is most likely costly and not
harmful. I have noticed that the racetrack
store (lots of TB's) has quit carrying FF...

If you have an Arab most likely your horse will
respond well and fast to any supplementation.
Better than a TB anyways!
