Daily hoof care isn’t just a good habit; it’s the foundation of a sound, happy horse. Whether your horse is a top competitor or enjoying a relaxed retirement in the pasture, their hooves need daily attention to stay strong, healthy, and pain-free. By caring for your horse’s hooves every day between farrier or trimmer visits, you can prevent many common hoof problems before they start.
Hoof Defender Spray: cleans, protects and promotes healthy horn.
Blue Frog Dressing: treats the frog, provides long-lasting protection and promotes regeneration..
Diamond Grease and Oil: nourish, protect and give a beautiful shine.
Inspect the hooves carefully: Inspect carefully and look out for anything unusual such as cracking, bruising or a strong, foul smell. Make sure that all shoes are still in the correct place, aren’t loose or overly worn, and that the clenches haven’t risen. Feel the frog with your fingers, making sure it’s firm but supple (not overly soft or hard) and look at the coronet band for swelling, injury or uneven growth.
Apply a hoof dressing: Protect and nourish the horn and apply hoof dressing to avoid cracks and flakes. Ask your farrier for advice about what sort of hoof ointment will suit your horse best.
Good nutrition and balanced diet: Good hooves start from the inside out! Ensure your horse gets a diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Consider adding a hoof supplement with biotin if your horse has limited access to grass or if your farrier recommends it.
Hoof care is not just a matter of grooming, it is a crucial part of the horse’s overall well-being. It is about prevention, ensuring that small problems do not become big problems. It is about the TRUST, knowing that your horse is supported and taken care of every step of the way.
