RE: [RC] Hoof problems - Allegra CMum uses Pine tar occationaly to help hold the moisture in. But it, being quite waxy may work for you. You can put it just on the sole, or all over the whole hoof. (It will look really funy, and dirt will stick to it in no time.) I'm not sure how long it would stay on in really wet environment, but it is quite waxy. Hope this works, Allegra -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of drhopkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 10:52 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] Hoof problems My horses hooves have been having problems from splitting from being too wet not too dry. The wet spring and then having to soak for a stone bruise/abcess has made matters worse. The vet suggested getting a hoof product that is wax based to help seal in the moisture and prevent them from absorbing too much than drying out too much. I keep looking thru the catalogues trying to tell what product have wax or sealing properties. The cataloges don't list ingredients and I have no idea which one to get. Most look like they for moisturizing dry hooves. Any one have any suggestions?
