Farrier's fix hoof oil was developed by a farrier when he discovered he didn't like any of the current hoof treatments on the market. Farrier's Fix combines high quality, natural ingredients without any fillers and with thought and reasoning behind every ingredient included. There is Venice turpentine which toughens the hoof and help with bacteria based hoof problems like thrush and white line disease. Cod liver oil keeps the hoof balanced with moisture. Wintergreen Oil helps the ingredients penentrate the hoof, helps with soreness and smells great! Safflower Oil is a good cource of vitamin E.
In my experience with Farrier's Fix I have seen it swell close two cracks on one horse's hoof and also take out some soreness on a new horse when we removed her shoes. The product is great for Colorado as it balances the moisture as we fluctuate between wet and dry.
To start apply every day until you see results and then three times a week thereafter. If you are just looking to balance an already healthy hoof then three times per week is sufficient. The product smells fantastic as previously mentioned so it makes it a dream to use. The product is a liquid so it applies easily and evenly with out making a sticky mess. I don't think it produces enough shine to be used in the show ring though.
Farrier's Fix can help with a variety of issues like soreness, thrush, white line and dry cracked hooves. Because the formula is mixed you don't need to heat any venice turpentine to make it stay liquid.
This is a great product and will remain a staple in my barn.
The next product is Equidisk. These are new from Equipride. They have taken the Equipride and made it into a treat type disk that can hang in the stall or out in the field, or even in the trailer to keep a horse occupied. They are not made with molasses or any sugars and because of their high calcium and magnesium content they help coat the stomach. The disk can be very helpful in ulcer horses as it keeps something buffering the stomach at all times.
The Equidisk contains pre and probiotics to help keep the entire system running smoothly. I have really liked using these for London who is on stall rest as they keep her entertained and also help since she had been having stomach issues. Because they don't have any molasses or sugars they can be used in all horses included those with metabolic disorders like cushings or insulin resistance. What better way to help your horse get their vitamins and minerals. Another added benefit of keeping a horse occupied with the Equidisk is it can reduce boredom behaviours like wood chewing, stall walking and pacing.
You can tie up the Equidisk or just drop it into a five gallone bucket. This product is a great complement to Equipride's line of products, which are all fantastic.
