Coconut Oil for horses

I heard that you can use coconut oil for cracked horse hooves. Is that true? If so, how would you use it?

It's quite readily absorbed, so I can see it helping keep the area moist and preventing bacteria and fungus from setting in which potentially would speed the healing process of the cracks. I think it would definitely help prevent cracks in the first place if applied even semi-regularly.
I would try it

I would second what SA said. I use to suffer from deep cracks in my feet and keeping them moisturized was key to them healing.
Here is a site that conducted their own experiments with home made hoof conditioners the had coconut oil in them.
