Prevention is Key for a trouble free summer.
Maintaining hoof moisture takes more than just a great product.
At the Nourished Hoof Ltd, we pride ourselves on only the best quality ingredients and years of experience and knowledge. The products we produce are designed tested and perfected before they reach you and your beloved horses.
That's not enough though.....
Without you, they are rendered useless.
You see, the secret to maintaining hoof moisture is consistency. The hoof can cope with pretty much all conditions mother earth can throw at them, what hooves don't like is change, the get used to just hot, just cold, just wet etc... As the seasons change, so does moisture levels in the hoof, the trick is trying to maintain the same moisture at all times. In summer, the problem is a drop in moisture, especially in countries like the UK where the default tends to be more wet.
A guide:
As soon as the temperature get's to around 12 degrees without rain, start to apply one of our hoof products, this will drastically slow down the evaporation rate in the hoof, remember, as things dry out they shrink, this is where cracks and fissures appear. If and when cracks appear its already too late and you have got behind the dry out curve. Our caffeine enriched daily emollient is a fantastic moisture bomb for dried out hooves and if applied consistently, will put moisture back into the hoof keeping it supple.
This is your part.
As a farrier of 30 years, I know most horse owners don't like picking up (or out) feet. you all know the saying 'no foot, no horse' and it as true today as the day it was first scribed. Daily application of any of our hoof products will ensure your feet stand a chance of surviving summer trouble free, lost shoes and vet all outs can spoil any summer ride, event or peaceful hack out, a few minutes a day looking after your horses feet are surely worth the effort of a few seconds worth of work to keep them nourished.
