Hoof care for your horse at Ruitershop Pas de Deux

Basic care for healthy horse hooves

Healthy hooves are essential for every horse. Daily hooves are essential! It's important to thoroughly clean the hooves with a hoof pick . This prevents sharp stones from pressing against the frog or sole. Also, ensure a clean surface. But sometimes a little more care and attention is needed.

Grease soft hooves regularly

Regularly greasing soft hooves helps. Leovet Hoof Lab or Duo Hoof Protection nourish and care for soft hooves and strengthen them.

Hard and dry hooves

Cavalor Dry Feet is an easy-to-use hoof spray that provides the sole and frog with protective, beneficial microflora that actively suppresses pathogens. This makes the hoof surface healthy and strong, actively suppressing harmful bacteria that cause thrush, for example. Soft hooves caused by prolonged wetness become hard and dry with the use of Dry Feet spray.

Thrush

To treat thrush, you can apply Sectolin Hypozin paste to the frog of the hoof daily with a brush. Hypozin contains a very high concentration of zinc oxide and is effective against Fusobacterium Necrophorum, the bacterium that causes thrush.
