Re: [RC] Hoof toughening - matt medeiros

Hi Susan,
Another good one that works well in irrigated pastures during the summer is a Cross-linked Aldehyde called Cross-a-Pol. Most farrier supply dealers have it on the west coast. It can also be ordered through Delta Horseshoe Co. here in N.California

To toughen hooves and keep it natural, you can mix ¼ cup cider vinegar with 5 drops lemon essential oil (make sure it?s a therapeutic-grade essential oil, not cosmetic- or food-grade). Brush it on the hoof twice a day (keep it away from the hair line).
 
If you can?t find a good quality essential oil, let me know.
