One stop hoof potion

[Jellymoon]

Just wondering if anyone has found one product for winter hooves which clears minor thrush and protects the hooves from the wet. I also want to stop nail holes tracking up and help keep the shoes on!
Maybe I’m being too demanding…

Red Horse Field Paste is excellent.

Red Horse Field Paste is excellent.

Seconded .

Slather it on to the sole and frog a couple of times a week and it keeps the feet in a much healthier state. Apparently the wetter the ground conditions the more effective it is.

Bit messy to apply, but it smells fresh and lovely!

Swan antibac liquid.

I use the horse leads products, they seem exact copies of the Red Horse. They are cheaper, similar price for twice as much, when I last bought them. They are, in my opinion, equally as good

I find the Horse Leds hoof clay has far longer lasting properties than the Red Horse version (but I do also swear by the Red Horse hoof hardener).

Debra from Horse Leads is great from a customer service too, as she's recently helped me out with super quick postage when I needed something ASAP.

Horse leads seem to be as good as Red Horse.

Their clay is a bit thicker, which works better in some instances, and less well in others.

Also like the Effoll Winter Hoof gel. Which has applies a bit like a traditional hoof oil with a brush, so less messy.

This is brilliant on thrush. You can definitely smell it for a while after though. Clears nasal passages quickly!

I love the smell of it and your right you can still smell it for days.

I also use eucalyptus oil on the feet at well.

What about Keratex products? Hoof Gel sounds good? But would clear thrush?

I buy foot spray from the farming section of our local store. Cheap and easy to apply!

Years ago someone gave me a bottle of blue spray from Turfmasters and it was fab!! It's been hard to find again but I just found some last week finally and ordered several bottles (https://tri-ni.com/products/turfmas...jGitcKUItZmwgbxaK9RzKGzOdypjaMROa-PHribeGMdQz)

Field Paste is good but if the horse is on livery can be annoying to apply. I have also been trialing the Hedgewitch Frog & Sole saviour. Not sure whether it's actually working or not but it's expensive for thr small bottle that you get!!

I've always used field paste but it is a bit of a bugger to apply which can mean not doing it (for prevention not treatment!).

The thinner red horse paint on one is good and I actually use it.

It's also worth considering Hoof Armour. Treats thrush and coats the hoof in a flexible layer. Bit expensive but it'd be a once a month job and won't come off in the mud.
