I tried three different things. First I tried 6 months of straight Biotin. I
saw no change in growth rate. I then tried 6 months of Methionine. Same
thing. This was on the recommendation of my vet. I then purchased a tub of
Farnams H.B. 15 (then called Hoof Builder). The change was really
noticeable. It took a couple of months but the hooves really took off
growing. Had to re-shoe every 5 weeks where before it took 7 weeks to have
enough growth to get the nails above the old holes. I suggest a supplement
with a good blend of the commonly used ingredients with around 20-25 mg of
biotin AND methionine. 

By the way, I have read that vitamin A supplementation has been used to
treat/prevent WLD. Read about that at www.horseshoes.com.
