I feel like the total odd one out as I don't use any of their hoof products. I have used hoof stuff a couple of times on someone's horse and it worked well on a very contracted heel but that is it.
I don't use anything at all on a daily basis.
I've found the most effective thing for frogs if they are starting to look manky is a copper sulphate scrub occasionally. That works better than iodine.
The riding horses get their feet wire brushed and cleaned when they are going out and the pasture pets get their feet cleaned when they are trimmed which can be a couple of months apart. The pasture pets who just live with mud compacted in their feet have just as good feet as those cleaned when ridden so benign neglect seems to work pretty well. In fact it is surprising that nature can do just as good a job as I can with a lot less effort.
Beyond that I don't own any hoof care products. I feel like a bad owner.
