FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our hoof oils, their use, and your order.
Using the brush, apply the hoof oil to a clean, dry hoof. For best results, we recommend applying it 2–3 times a week.
What matters is not the consistency, but the ingredients. Many products clog the pores, preventing the hoof from absorbing water. Herbal hoof oils with almond oil, jojoba, or essential oils penetrate deeply, allow the hoof to breathe, and prevent sand from sticking. This way, the hoof retains its natural ability to absorb water.
Treatment depends on the cause: For crumbling hooves, water should be avoided as bacteria, which multiply in moisture, are often involved. For cracks caused purely by dryness, watering combined with a vegetable oil is advisable. Similar to a skin cream, the oil moisturizes the hoof without clogging its pores.
The interval depends on the individual hoof growth, but averages 6 to 10 weeks. In cases of diseases such as canker, shorter intervals are necessary. For barefoot horses, caution is advised: A frog that is too short can lead to sensitivity, pain, or hoof abscesses. Coordination with the farrier is essential here.
Healthy hooves primarily require daily cleaning to prevent stone bruises and sole irritation. Mud must also be removed to deprive bacteria of a breeding ground. Caution in winter: Too frequent washing with water, combined with stable manure, promotes the growth of bacteria, which can lead to thrush or white line disease. It is better to use a dry dandy brush for cleaning.
A horse that is foot-sore shows an irregular gait, comparable to a person walking barefoot over sharp stones. It does not take even steps, sometimes stumbles slightly, and actively tries to avoid hard or stony ground. Instead, the horse instinctively seeks softer ground, such as grassy areas at the side of the path.
Typical signs of foot soreness:
Cautious gait: The horse places its hooves hesitantly or flat.
Avoidance behavior: It strongly deviates from the gravel path onto the grass verge.
Stumbling: Frequent tripping or "giving way" on uneven ground.
Short strides: The stride length shortens significantly as soon as the ground becomes harder.
