Simply Bee Horse Hoof Balm

Description

Daily hoof care is important for your horse’s overall health. If your horse’s hooves need special care or tend to be brittle, you may want to try products, which optimally penetrate the structure of the hoof horn, such as the Simply Bee all-natural Horse Hoof Balm.

As with all home remedies for animal husbandry and pets: For serious issues or when in doubt, consult a veterinarian.

All Simply Bee’s bee related ingredients (honey, beeswax, and propolis) are sourced from responsible, sustainable, organic beekeepers and badger-friendly hives. They are certified cruelty-free by Beauty Without Cruelty SA. They support and create awareness of bee conservation in the Fynbos biome. Their secret of good skin products lies in the combination of good, natural ingredients with natural processes designed to maximise purity without damaging the ingredients.

Directions for use:

Clean your horse’s hooves daily and pick out any small stones or other debris. This is best done with a brush. Hoof picks are used a lot too, but care should be taken not to scratch off the healthy horn. In order to stay pliable, the hoof horn must contain just the right amount of moisture. If the hoof horn is too wet, it tends to get soft, wear down faster and there is also a higher risk of developing thrush. Our Simply Bee horse hoof balm contains anti-bacterial agents, such as Propolis and beeswax. If the hoof horn contains too little moisture, it will become brittle. This can make shodding difficult and may reduce the supporting surface area. If the horse’s hooves are very dry, you should first wet them with water and after allowing them to dry a little, apply our Simply Bee hoof balm which will then prevent loss of moisture.
