Paste Hooves - Hoof Paste 500ml
- Handy hoof grease sold with a sponge.
The hoof paste is a vegan, thick paste for everyday hoof care, sold together with a sponge for applying it. It is based on naturally derived vegetable oils and shea butter, which condition the hoof horn, along with petroleum jelly and paraffin, which form a protective layer on its surface. The thick consistency does not run, so the product goes on conveniently and precisely across the hoof walls.
How to use the hoof paste
Apply the paste to clean, dry hooves. Once the horn has been washed and dried, take some product onto the sponge supplied, spread it thoroughly over the hoof walls and then leave it to absorb. You can use the hoof paste every day. The thick consistency does not run, so application is clean and convenient. The jar is best kept in a grooming or tack box, away from direct sunlight.
What is in the hoof paste and how it works
The recipe is based on a blend of five naturally derived vegetable oils, coconut oil and shea butter. These ingredients condition the hoof horn and limit how much it dries out. Petroleum jelly and paraffin form a protective layer on the surface of the hoof, which helps limit drying and cracking of the hoof horn and supports protection against moisture. The paste is vegan and based on naturally derived ingredients, with no unnecessary additives, and with regular use it brings out the well-kept look and shine of the hooves.
Everyday hoof care and dried-out horn
The hoof paste is intended for everyday hoof care. The paste conditions the hoof horn and limits how much it dries out, which is why it fits well into a regular care routine. For horses prone to thrush, add Blue Hooves to the care routine, while the hoof paste is used as everyday care for the whole hoof horn.
500 ml or 100 ml: which to choose
The hoof paste comes in two sizes with the same recipe. The 500 ml jar is the stable version, for longer-term, everyday care. The 100 ml version is handy to take with you. Both versions are sold with a sponge for applying them.
