These guys Wild AboutHooves make the BEST hoof tools. I love their Little Loop
knife- very well made and very good for cleaning out collateral grooves.
THIS lil number looks like it would be amazing for cleaning out mud packed into soles as well
After owning horses in the wet tropics where wet season meant 600 ml of water in 24 hours, mud was always an issue with hoof health. Standing in water and mud softening up all the hoof,making hooves more susceptible to abscesses… thrush …
Wish I had one of these when I was living up north !

So what's the go with a Wild Thing?
It's a nifty tool.
A hoof pick and sole scraper . A tool that is all - in - one!

The Wild Thing is easy to use. It is designed to tackle the mud, clean out the hoof, plus scrape and exfoliate the sole.

The pick serves to clean out the hoof before you commence trimming and also allows you to investigate seedy toe or separation issues in a pathological hoof. The scraper is perfect for an overall tidy up including exfoliating the chalky sole before you trim with the nippers and rasp.

This tool has been designed to suit everyone from beginner to the seasoned farrier. But beginners will appreciate the convenience and safety of using a Wild Thing.

It is a “Wild Thing – to make your heart sing”.
A real treasure for your trim kit.

Best of all it gets the tick for an environment endorsed product. The steel and wood are recycled. It's handmade. Its Australian made. The packaging of our products includes recycling bubble wrap from retail outlets.

We care about our impact.

Well well well Happy New Year!
Feeling very positive that this year may just be the one where I actually stick to New Years Resolutions longer than the first week of January 😂😂😂
Seriously though one of my relations this year was to post more content here. Look at me go - only the 2nd of January and here I am posting. No snarky reminder from Meta that I haven’t posted in 102 days …. Which I guess shows that meta knows the guilt tripping works hahaha!
I hope you all had a beautiful festive season with your special people, and especially your horses 🐎
Stay tuned for LOTS more posts from me in 2025

I was blessed recently when I received this wonderful feedback from Dr Jennifer Lugton - a veterinarian that specialises in Equine Podiatry

“I am an Equine vet and have been using Stay Put Cream for over 5 years now and I honestly don't know what else I would use if I couldn't get this cream anymore. Whether I am treating skin irritations, greasy heel, seedy toe, thrush, white line disease, drying up foot abscess tracts or keeping hooves fresh inside pads and therapeutic boots, I always have full confidence in the results from this cream. The combination of zinc and essential oils has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties while at the same time it is gentle enough to use on raw skin or corium. It smells delicious and as the name suggests, this cream really stays put giving me long lasting effects after its application making this cream extremely economical also. One happy vet with happy clients and healing patients with this product. Dr Jen from Balanced Veterinary Services . “
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As you can see - a single bottle of cream that can be used for a multitude of different issues
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Have you used our Stay Put Cream ?
If so, what did you use it for ? Seedy toe? Deep thrush? Wound care? To prevent funk in boots? Greasy Heel? Mud fever?

Please share your use for the cream in the comments
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

And of course if you were happy with the results and you happen to see someone asking advice about the same condition, the best thing you can do for a small Aussie business is recommend it to others. Every comment counts

I originally started making Hoof Clay and Stay Put Cream way back in 2017. At that time I was in Far North Queensland north of Port Douglas.
I developed the products in the land of Monsoonal rain, successfully trialled and tested them in a place where we could get up to 1600 ml of rain in a week.
In 2019 I relocated to Gippsland in Victoria - nice dairy country and loads of mud in the winter.
In October this year decided I needed a change and VOILA
Moved to Tasmania.
In love with this gorgeous land.
Based in Cygnet down south.
Have sourced most importantly, pure golden goodness Tasmanian Honey from local long time Good Gear customers …..
I do have a big base of customers already in Tassie- if you are in the local area you can collect the products from our Cygnet workshop and receive a discount
As always thank you for your support, encouragement and positive success stories using our products 😎😎😎

Ahhhh as usual life has gotten in the way of me doing posts here…. Apologies in advance .
BUT check this out !
I often get asked how long Hoof Clay lasts for . I usually respond with a technical reply such as AGES.
Today a customer messaged me to say her Clay didn’t look like the pictures …. Turns out it was 4 years old ….
The honey in our Clay crystalises over time much like honey in a jar.
To bring back Clay I suggest to microwave 100g lump for 15 seconds then roll on a bit of baking paper for about 30 seconds….
So this lovely customer did exactly that …….
Here’s the before and after …. (No prizes for guessing which clay is the before lot LOL)
Will show video in another post as you can’t have video and pics in same post according to Facey 🙄
