Hot, dry conditions can lead to hooves becoming hard, brittle and cracked. This is due to lack of moisture which creates a brittle hoof prone to splitting and discomfort. Sore hooves lead to reduced performance and wellbeing in our horses. Dusty, hard, and dry pastures add extra wear to hooves meaning regular maintenance is essential, particularly during the drier months.
Regular cleaning to remove abrasive material such as stones, dirt and debris helps spot signs of hoof irritation, including cracks and punctures. Removing mud and manure will reduces the risk of bacterial infections, this all helps us ensure a healthy hoof.
Nutrition plays a huge role in how healthy our horses hooves are. Good quality feed as well as feeding supplements can lead to improvement of hoof health and it is particularly essential our horses aren't lacking vitamins and trace elements.
Our Hoof supplement offers a unique blend of herbs, providing excellent hoof support by promoting healthy hoof growth and preventing brittle hooves.
