Yes, our hoof oil can support hoof growth. However, for optimal hoof growth, proper nutrition, regular trimming, and a healthy environment are essential. Hoof oil alone won’t dramatically speed up growth, but it can contribute to overall hoof health, which supports steady and strong hoof development.

You can apply hoof oil either before or after riding, depending on your needs. We do both. Applying it before riding can help protect the hooves from drying out, especially in dry or dusty conditions, but be mindful that it may make the hooves slightly slippery. Applying it after riding is generally preferred as it allows you to clean and dry the hooves first, ensuring better absorption and locking in moisture after exposure to sweat, pressure, or the elements. For the best results, let the oil absorb fully before turnout or stalling.

To properly apply our hoof oil for the best results, follow these steps:

• Clean the Hooves: Use a hoof pick to remove any dirt, rocks, or debris from the hooves. Clean the sole and frog thoroughly.
• Dry the Hooves: Make sure the hooves are dry before applying oil. Excess moisture can prevent the oil from absorbing properly.
• Use a Clean Brush: Apply the hoof oil with a clean brush. Avoid using your hands to prevent contamination.
• Apply Evenly: Brush the hoof oil evenly over the entire surface of the hoof, including the wall, coronet band (the area where the hoof meets the leg), and the frog. Be gentle around sensitive areas.
• Massage the Oil In: Gently massage the oil into the hoof wall and coronet band to help with absorption.
• Let It Absorb: Allow the oil to soak in for a few minutes before putting your horse back in its stall or paddock.
• Avoid Over-Application: Too much oil can cause the hoof to become too soft, which may lead to damage. A thin, even coat is usually sufficient.

Regular application, combined with proper hoof care, will help keep hooves healthy and strong.

Hoof oil can lose its effectiveness over time. Most hoof oils have a shelf life of around 1-2 years, depending on the ingredients and storage conditions. Over time, the oil can break down, losing its ability to properly condition and protect the hooves. Exposure to extreme temperatures, sunlight, and air can speed up the degradation process. Store the hoof oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. If the oil changes color, consistency, or smell, it's likely time to replace it. Always use fresh products for optimal hoof care.
