In developing the hoof supplement Crackdown, Equine Elixirs' founder Elizabeth Ehrlich collaborated with top farriers, veterinarians, and trainers to evaluate the most common hoof related issues and how to formulate a supplement that successfully addresses them.

"The most common hoof issues are hooves that don't grow, poor quality hoof growth, hooves that are too brittle or too soft, weak walls and those that are prone to quarter cracks, and general hoof sensitivity" says Ehrlich. "Some hoof issues are the result of environmental factors like tropical weather where the ground is too wet, or dry weather where the ground is too hard, while other issues can be genetic or even related to diet."

Ehrlich was confident that she could create a whole-food based supplement to tackle the dietary component of the equation.
