Equine Hoof Care
Put Yout Best Foot Forward!

Daily Equine Hoof Care starts before the show and should form part of your normal Grooming Routine. However, on the eve of a show you should double check each of your horse's shoes to ensure that none are loose or worn down too far.

Clean out the feet just before you enter the ring using a hoof pick and oil the outside of the feet for a super shiny show turnout. Take care not to stain the hair on the coronet band (at the top of the foot - particularly if your horse has white leg markings .

Some prefer to use black boot polish to give a give a matt black finish but take care not to get any on your clothes and only use this on black hooves.
