Red Horse Products HydroHoof is a honey-based hoof moisturiser that soothes dry, cracked or inelastic hooves and rejuvenates withered, dry frogs.
Developed at the request of an equine podiatrist, HydroHoof is designed to balance moisture in the hoof. The formulation allows the horn to absorb only as much moisture as it needs, which prevents it from becoming soft and soggy.
Beeswax has been added to help prevent moisture loss from the hoof and bergamot oil conditions the hoof and helps protect it against damage from external factors.
The ingredients in HydroHoof have been chosen for their moisturising or antibacterial properties.
