hoof oil

Magzinator · 12-19-2004, 06:16 AM

about how thick shouls your hoof oil be because the stuff that I use looks like if my pony brushed her hooves against something then it would rub off? Help

I use hooflex and just put on enough to wet them. They dry after about 10 minutes. You can use bacon grease too. Sounds weird but it works and it isn't very expensive. Obviously you have to eat the bacon first. LOL.

pine tar also works good too, that is basically what the stuff i use is. it works great for my horses.

I just use pine tar and neats foot oil mixed together and it's kinda runny...

we use a mix of corona and turpintine, it makes a paste and we lightly spread it on!!

I would buy " Mane and Tail Hoof Maker" thats what I have. I don't think I would use home made stuff. People who put that stuff onlie could just make it up and it could be harmful instead of helpful. You just don't know what kind of source you are getting it from.

I use shur hoof but I have a question.

Ive been putting it ON his hooves and the directions say to work it into his frog and coronet band. But its just for his cracked hooves, his frogs are fine.
Am I doing this wrong?

they tell you that incase you werent getting up into the cornet band and it was cracked and it means its ok to use for the frogs

I use hoof flex & I really like it. It has pine tar, venice turpentine & lanolin in it. It's not too thick & not too thin.
