Tips

Below you find some tips from Roy which are applicable to the everyday hoof care of all horses and ponies:
  • Provide a clean stable with preferably straw;
  • Clean the hoofs every day, even after riding. Also, clean the bulb of the heel;
  • Don't use hoof oil or grease too much (up to 1x per day);
  • Maintain a healthy frog, this is an essential part of the hoof. The hoof needs air (tip 2). In case of splint use a product that not only dries but heals as well;
  • Let the farrier shoe your horse every six to seven weeks or let him trim in case of barehoofs.
