The product is also lovely to use, not messy or greasy and has a pleasant and subtle odour. My biggest fear was it would continue to split upwards during the growing out phase but this didn’t happen. By November the crack has almost grown out (another 1-2 shoe cycles and it should be gone) and barely visible. I found this product in April and have used it 2-3 a week since then. My lovely boy developed a full length crack in late February 2018. Here’s a review from Lee Oliver … “I purchased the Terrain Everyday Hoof Oil after finding it on a Google search for products to help quarter cracks. The ingredients are cold pressed linseed (aka flaxseed) oil, and the infused oils of Comfrey and Carrot Seed. The most effective and economical everyday hoof dressing to help combat both these problems is my Terrain Every Day Hoof Oil. Weather extremes play havoc with horses’ feet, especially when frequent changes occur from very dry to very wet conditions. Similarly during the dry weather some of the 50% moisture reservoir is absorbed. During prolonged periods of wet weather, only 20% of that moisture is retained and the other 30% is secreted out through the sole. To keep this balance, water is absorbed through the sole, off the dew, from around the trough, walking in creeks or dams, or when hosed down after work. It’s important to realise that the sole of the horse’s foot is very porous and is made up of about 50% moisture. When horses lived in their natural environment they travelled long distances over different terrains and this wear and tear and constant stimulation to the circulation in the foot, kept their hooves healthy by natural means.įarriers and trimmers are always impressed with the improvement in the rate and quality of growth of horses’ hooves on the VF Natural Diet. Today’s equestrian sports are very demanding on the hooves of the horse. “No foot – no horse.” This old saying is as true today as it ever was.
