Healthy hooves are the foundation of a sound and happy horse. Cracks, brittleness, and infections such as thrush can not only affect your horse’s performance but also their overall wellbeing. Regular farrier care, good nutrition, and the right hoof treatments are essential in keeping hooves strong, flexible, and resilient.
In this article, we’ll explore practical hoof care tips and introduce two natural products that can help: Strong Step Hoof Care and StrongStep Frog Care.
Why Hoof Care is Crucial
A horse’s feet endure constant pressure, whether from training, competition, or simply moving around paddocks. Hooves that are too dry can become brittle and crack, while those exposed to excess moisture may soften, leading to instability and infection. Thrush, a common bacterial condition, thrives in damp conditions and can quickly compromise the frog of the hoof if left untreated.
Proactive care ensures hooves remain balanced, healthy, and capable of supporting your horse’s movement comfortably.
Strong Step Hoof Care – Organic Hoof Conditioner
Strong Step Hoof Care – is a new-generation hoof conditioner unlike anything else on the market. Unlike traditional oils that simply coat the hoof, Strong Step is absorbed directly into the hoof wall. This action helps bind the hoof material together, establishing the correct moisture balance for both wet and dry conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Regulates moisture naturally – prevents brittleness in dry weather and softening in wet conditions.
- Supports strength and flexibility – may improve circulation through the hoof and lower leg.
- Safe and natural – made from 100% organic plant-based oils.
- Non-sticky application – absorbs cleanly without attracting dust or debris.
- The innovative applicator also makes it easy to use daily, whether as part of your horse’s routine care or to give hooves a polished appearance before competition.
StrongStep Frog Care – Natural Thrush Treatment
Thrush can be painful and damaging to your horse’s hoof if not addressed quickly. StrongStep Frog Care is a natural treatment formulated with tree-based oils to assist in eliminating thrush and canker.
Directions for Use:
- Have your farrier clean and trim the frog where possible.
- Apply StrongStep Frog Care directly to the frog and surrounding areas.
- Repeat daily until thrush is cured.
- Once the infection is cleared, it’s recommended to switch to Strong Step Hoof Care for daily conditioning, ensuring long-term hoof health and reducing the risk of recurrence.
