Type of hoof oil/dressing...

JumpsxGlory · 01-07-2005, 06:43 AM

Olly has cracks on his hooves and it being winter and all, he will be more prone to getting cracks because of it being so dry outside so i wanted to put some hoof oil/dressing on his hooves to prevent anymore and I was wondering what everyone would recomend. I've used the Rio Vista Hoof Stix and hated them! Never will use those again! Any other ones that you guys think would work well.

Yes their is this paste that you can put of the hoves called fish oil, it really stinks but it works amazingly

My farrier makes my hoof dressing it is amazing. But I also feed liquid farriers blend. Don't expect miracles over night. Winston's hooves are getting better but the vet and farrier told me it will probably take a year. But his feet were horrible.

The only hoof dressing I've ever been satisfied with is Hoof Heal.

It doesn't lock moisture outside the hoof, which most dressings do.

Corona's also good to apply to the coronary band.

I usually only apply the hoof heal to the coronary band, and occasionally to the soles on my mustang.
