NO FEET, NO HORSE 🐎

How can I best care for my protégé's feet against winter humidity? ❄️

All riders have heard this saying, but it's sometimes easier said than done 🤷‍♀️ The aggressions are multiple, the wet sand, the muddy grounds, the puddles in the paddocks, etc. so many reasons to find a hoof that is far too soft or rotten frogs 💦

1. The first reflex: apply ointment

This is something we've always been told. The basis of foot care is obviously nourishing the hoof daily with ointments 🧴 The ranges on this side are so wide that we are spoiled for choice! On our side, we advise you to go for black ointment and we have tested several for you at the stables, our favorites 💖 of the year? The Natural'Coat from Natural'Innov, the Pedigard from Ravene, the black hoof ointment from Paskacheval or also, highlighted just below, the winter ointment 🥳 from Ungula Naturalis :

2. For the rotten frogs? 

We have often been confronted with this problem on our favorites, this is due to the development of mushrooms 🍄  on the frog and the horse's hoof which leads to a degeneration of the tissues ... So, put like that, it's a bit off-putting 🤢  but don't worry, with a bit of regularity in care you will very quickly get to grips with it! Under liquid, gel, or spray format, our partners offer you their best creations to apply directly on your horses' frogs 🐴  It's up to you to choose the application that seems the most pleasant, but also which product is the most effective on Little Thunder's hooves. On the Ohlala side, the absolute favorite ABSOLUTE for several years has been the Pedicade from Ravene, simple, effective, with a very precise spray, it's validated ✅

3. Caring for the substance as much as the form through supplements

We often forget this care which is, after all, a real concentrate of effectiveness! The fact of adding a suitable dietary supplement to your animal's rations will really help it in its daily life 🍽  The principle is simple, just add a small dose of supplements to your horse's regular ration so that it ingests it without even realizing it, except for enjoying it 😋  These supplements, enriched with biotin will not only help the hoof grow, but they will also allow for an improvement in the horse's overall condition with a shinier coat and faster-growing, healthier mane and tail 🔐

Hoping, as always, that this article has been helpful to you, take great care of yourself and your horses!
