Sorry to keep this going, but based on this statement I'm violating the
drug rule.  Last spring because of the floods then drought, all of the
horses' feet in the barn went to the crapper.  Three of us compete in some
sport requiring shoes.  We all started using biotin supplements &, after
about 90 days, feet were great & have had no problems since.  We all
decided to stay on the biotin because of losing 3-4 months during late
spring & summer.

Since the supplement is greater than the natural intake, I am breaking the
drug policy?  If so, someone please advise how to overcome this problem
"naturally".
