BEST topical hoof moisturiser for summer use?

[phantomhorse]

Recommendations please!

The horses already have a good diet and good feet, so topical hoof applications only. Soemthing to keep them in tip top condition and prevent the inevitable dryness than occurs during long spells of dry weather.

Thanks!

Cornucrescine daily hoof moisturiser, cheap and effective

I like farriers formula hoof treatment.

Keeps the mud off too. I get it directly from my farrier. Keeps his feet moisturised but not soft and supple.

Is that the white stuff that looks like PVA glue?

I thought it looked fairly expensive? About £13 for a 500ml tin. Can you get it cheaper elsewhere online?

I've got the traditional Cornucrescine dressing, the sticky stuff. I already apply that regularly to their coronet band and whole front of hooves. I find it handy to apply 'in the field' as it's not runny and comes in a handy little tin.

I really like the effol hoof stuff, its about £6/£7 and it lasts for ages.

I have Effol at the moment, and my farrier is happy with how their feet are by using that. Nearly run out though, so will get whatever he has in his van next time!

Mine are fed balancers and look fantastic, its just to stop cosmetic stuff.

I do put cornucrescine on their coronet bands if they look a little dry too.

Effol as recommended by my farrier, but not the black one he says the clear one is better....not sure why.
If not NAF hoof moist again in natural.

kevin bacon hoof ointment... amazing stuff!

Kevin Bacons (the liquid one is great)

 

[brightmount]

I agree with the above, Kevin Bacons in the red tin with the brush in the lid. I use it nearly every day all year round, and it has really helped.

kevin bacon for summer and winter use- great stuff

kertatex pricey but worth it

 

[amandaco2]

i use any hoof moisturiser and i also make sure i wash their feet in diluted disinfectant too every few days.

Kevin Bacon or Hoof Moist are very good

Kevin Bacon - if getting the solid one apparently you should use the one with the black lid. Not sure why but something to do with tar in it.

I use it all year round (liquid one in winter) and its totally ace.

Farnam Hoof Saver- I used it all last summer and still have nearly all the bottle left- it smells divine too!! and really helps in the dry weather.

Kevin Bacon or NAF Pro Feet Hoof Rub both fantastic products

I use Kereatex hoof moisturiser during the summer. The moisturiser is loads cheaper than the hoof hardner - but it last for ages and ages!

Tesco's own hand and nail moisturiser! Comes in quite big bottles, just use a hoof-oil brush to put it on. Works well and WAY cheaper than any other horsey ones!
