How to choose

Hoof condition

Dry or brittle hooves usually require moisturizing products, while those in good condition can benefit from maintenance greases. The farrier is best equipped to advise on the condition of each hoof.

Product type

Greases form a layer that helps retain moisture, oils penetrate more easily, and moisturizers are aimed at dehydrated hooves. It is advisable to read the composition and for what case each one is indicated.

Format and application

Containers with an incorporated brush make application to the hoof wall and coronet band easier. In stables with several horses, larger formats are usually more cost-effective.
