What is Natural Hoof Care?


"Natural Hoofcare" or "Barefoot Hoofcare" are generic terms being used to describe the care and use of barefooted horses in all disciplines. Natural Hoofcare is not only a trimming method designed specifically for barefoot horses, but includes a daily care system that allows a horse to remain barefoot throughout its entire working life. This same system can be used to rehabilitate horses from many degenerative lamenesses.

Healthy HairCare's Hoof Moisture™ supplies the hoof with Lanolin and Vitamin A. Alcohol free. Replenishes moisture to dry, brittle, cracking and breaking hooves, essential to repair and prevent damage.

Climate, bedding, and show hoof polishes can strip moisture from the hoof. Use Hoof Moisture™ to work against those damaging elements.

Clear and free of harsh dyes and will not stain white hair or legs. Use Hoof Moisture™ as a show polish to safely highlight the hoof to a natural shine.

Hoof Moisture™ can be applied to a wet or dry hoof. Apply generously to the hoof frog and sole. Paint heavier amounts directly on cracks or damaged areas.


Ferriers Fix It Hoof Oil

Farriers Fix Hoof Oil
$22.96 One Pint

“I originally developed this product to sell to other farriers. Like most farriers, I have always encountered the basic problems found in many horses – sore feet, thrush, feet that are either too soft or too hard and brittle, founder (laminitis), quarter cracks and white line disease. I started looking for a topical treatment and experimented with various ingredients; until I came up with what I now call Farriers’ Fix Hoof Oil.

Farriers’ Fix has ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS and those who compete can be assured that it has tested negative under FEI guidelines. Farriers’ Fix “works like Magic” in the words of my clients. Horses that were suffering from stone bruises or were trimmed too short, in many cases, were rideable the next day – the ultimate proof of a product that works.”

-PAUL HELLER

Paul Heller has been a Farrier working in Westchester County, New York since 1972. He primarily shoes USEF “A” Circuit Hunters and, Jumpers as well as upper-level Dressage and Event horses, but prides himself on staying close to his roots, shoeing trail and hunt horses and those living happily in backyards!
