Before and after a barefoot hoof trim by hufpflege.juliawild 💪🏼👱🏼♀️ If you're new to going barefoot, or have a footsore horse, try our Hoof Hardener twice per week on the soles and hoof wall!

using our Hoof Putty 🙌🏻

“Perfect when mixed with copper sulfate to seal off the sole and prevent moisture and bacteria from getting trapped under the shoe. A small step that makes a big difference in hoof health! 💪🐴”

"A case of seedy toe on a bare foot horse that is growing out nicely. For these types of horses we clean the cavity out and then fill with copper sulphate with Hoof Putty to keep it all in place."

Once in place, the putty sets hard and lasts for up to 3 weeks, even in harsh conditions.

Love this barefoot post from -

“6.5 weeks Barefoot! 😍

Casper, Badger and Nova all had the farrier out today for their hoof trims and it’s been almost 7 weeks since Casper had his front shoes off as we are attempting to take him barefoot again (this is the 3rd attempt)!

This is by far the best attempt we’ve had in my opinion and I am feeling VERY confident that it’s going to be 3rd time lucky!! 🤞🏼

Casper’s hooves have chipped and cracked and broken but I’ve just let them do it! It’s all natural, especially on the quartets towards the heel of the hoof, and especially with this ridiculously dry weather we have had!

Casper has remained sound and not been sore at all (been a bit footy on the odd step on a stone but that’s it) so I’ve not worried in the slightest.

If anything, his hooves being left to do what they need to do, in terms of breakage, has allowed them to balance themselves out a bit and function as a hoof should!

A nice trim and tidy up from today and look at them! 😍 For a thoroughbred, Casper is a tough cookie and his hoof horn is surprisingly strong!

As always though, this comes from good, daily care and a hood diet! A horse will never have good hooves on an unbalanced diet - fact!

Casper has the Hoof Supplement in his feed to make sure he is getting all the biotin, vitamins and minerals he needs to encourage healthy hoof growth!

And on his hooves today to help nourish them is the coconut oil hoof balm (which smells INCREDIBLE btw if you’ve never had the pleasure of smelling it!) 💙”

Love to see this remedial trimming on a donkey by .anz - he writes:

"Contrary to popular belief, trimming the heels does not cause a break in the hoof pastern axis, but rather provides support to the caudal area of the hoof and allows for correct posture, improving the angles of the hoof. A hoof with long heels will always have too much lever and too little support, and it’s this lack of support that will affect the hoof pastern axis. The trimming of hooves with chronic Laminitis is clearly visible. The picture shows before and after trimming the foot of a donkey with Laminitis, considering the level of the functional sole and the natural length of the heels."

finishing off a freshly shod horse’s hooves with our Hoof Shield. Hoof Shield is great for competitions as once applied, it dries instantly to a mirror shine and doesn’t have a sticky residue, therefore no dust or shavings stick!
