I worked with a horse once that lost about a third of his hoof at the outside quarter/heel (severed three blood vessels at the same time and went into shock from loss of blood. It took two years of careful blacksmith care and a heart-bar shoe for his hoof to grow back in at the correct shape/angle, but it did happen.

Call a vet. it would probably survive if you took care of the hoof ie: wrapping it in a bandage or covering it with an easy boot or somthing like it to keep the dirt and bateria from causing an infection. If you do that the hoof will grow back but it takes a hoof 9 months to grow back.

My horse did it! He pulled a shoe out in the pasture and took roughly about half the hoof with it! It took about 6 months of apoxy, glue on shoes, and stall rest with light exercises and we were able to nail a shoe on. It took another 5 months after that to have his foot completely grown out, and now it looks beautiful. I didn't jump him during the first six months just to help reduce the possibility of him twisting out of the shoe, and I am now best friends with my farrier. But it does grow back!!
I have also read a medical journal about a horse that fell though a trailer floor and took off almost his whole hoof, it took about a year and a half and the hoof grew back. As long as you are lucky and the cornet band isn't damaged then it will almost always grow back! Good Luck!

It depends on the cause of the loss. If it was due to an injury and the coronal band is intact, you can replace the hoof wall with epoxy. It takes about 9 months for a complete hoof to grow out, but if you feed more vitamin E to your horse in grains and suppliments, it will grow faster.

My friend's stallion lose just about his entire hoof as a yearling. At the time 2 vets shared ownership on him and therefore were able to do a lot of work on him. He was never able to be ridden but bred mares until his death at age 20.

I don't think so. If you have that problem take it in to a large animal vetrinarian.
