THE chronically wet Irish weather that we have been experiencing of late, poses specific challenges to equine hoof health. Consistent wet ground conditions soften hooves, making them more susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections like thrush and prolonged exposure to a damp environment underfoot can also lead to weakening of the hoof wall weakening, making it more prone to cracks and splits.

To aid the health and strength of your horse’s hooves, regular trimming by the farrier should be accompanied by the routine application of a topical hoof dressing, such as Plusvital Hoofcare. A specific hoof supplement, such as Plusvital Acti-Hoof, will ensure that your horse is receiving all the necessary nutrients for healthy hoof growth.
