No feet, no horse! We all know this little quote which is so explicit when our horse has its first abscess or damaged frog...👩🏽⚕️
Fortunately, there are plenty of products to protect against risks and treat quickly ❤️
To do this, we advise you to add to your pharmacy:

For their members...🌼
The limbs are very stressed in horses and when the ground is hard or deep, this can cause lesions, tendinitis or rots 👀
To limit injuries, or on the contrary treat them, clay, care gels and other products should be known ❤️
To add to your first aid kit and daily care, we also have:
🌼. A cooling gel that limits the heating of the tendons thanks to arnica, mint or even aloe vera: Cooling gel - Equinatura
🌼. A pot of clay, whether for the limbs or for the body, it reduces inflammation, edema and relieves pain: Must Have - Alodis Care
🌼. A cohesive bandage to treat wounds and protect them: Flex-wrap - Hippotonic
And finally, the essentials...🌸
There are many pathologies in horses and certain products will be dedicated to them, such as for example in the case of navicular damage...✨
We still had a few articles left to advise you, which will be of great use to you in the event of a problem:
🌸 A muzzle basket, to ration the horse in case of colic or diets, it allows you to graze and drink all the same: Muzzle basket - Imperial Riding
