Insect repellents: regularly apply an insect repellent to your horse, especially during peak fly and mosquito seasons. Make sure to apply it to the body, legs, ears, and face.
Regular checks: Check your horse over daily for ticks and bites

Hoof oils and creams generally help to reduce moisture loss and provide a cosmetic for appearance. Vetpro Therapeutic Hoof Oil has four components to provide therapy for common issues affecting the sole of the hoof as well as combatting moisture loss on the outside of the hoof.

Linseed Oil (Flaxseed) provides essential Omega 3 fatty acids which can improve hoof quality by reducing brittleness and cracking. It is rich in ALA which improves the strength of the hoof horn and supports faster quality growth.
Stockholm Tar is the classic well known hoof support treatment. It is naturally antibacterial and antiseptic and also provides a waterproofing cover . Ideal for sealing cracks and minor wounds and can provide a protective barrier against environmental damage such as bacteria, mud and manure, also excessive water.

Apply daily to the outside of the hoof from the coronet band down. Twice weekly apply to the cleaned sole. In cases of infections, damage to the sole or after abscess removal, apply daily.

For the full resolutions of damaged or poor hoof structure combine with feeding Vetpro Four Feet daily to provide the actives that will grow new healthy hooves .
