Solidna Podstawa – Codzienna Pielęgnacja Kopyt z Uwagą na Detale

Solid Foundation - Daily Hoof Care with Attention to Detail

There is no room for compromise in horse care, and the hooves are the most important support point for the entire body . An old, wise saying goes:

"No hoof, no horse."
And it's hard to disagree with that.

What should be included in your daily routine?

🧹 Hoove cleaning – not only before riding

Daily use of a hoof pick is not only preparation for training, but also antifungal and antibacterial prophylaxis . You remove mud, pebbles, but also moisture and bacteria that can cause the frog to rot.

💡 Tip: Pay attention to the smell of the hoof - a sour or putrid smell may indicate a fungal infection or frog rot.

🧴 Hoof fats and oils – why and when?

✅ Prevents drying out
✅ Protects against cracking
✅ They create a protective layer but allow the hoof to breathe
✅ Nourishes the horny structure

💡 Pro tip: Always apply fat/oil to a clean, slightly damp hoof – then the ingredients are better absorbed and you don't trap dirt and bacteria inside.


Perfect Products for Daily Hoof Care

Daily care for hooves is the basis of your horse's comfort and health. To make the care ritual effective and enjoyable, it is worth reaching for proven, light, and at the same time deeply nourishing preparations. Here is a must-have set for every rider who cares about details:

🔹 We recommend:
Carr&Day&Martin Hoof Oil - a delicate, almost transparent formula that absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy layer.


💧 Moisturizing and protection – the rhythm of the seasons

Both in summer and winter, horses' hooves are prone to drying out, cracking or - conversely - excess moisture. That is why it is worth reaching for preparations that not only add shine, but also strengthen the structure of the hoof horn.

🔹 We recommend:
👉 Carr&Day&Martin Cornucrescine Daily Hoof Moisturiser – a light, everyday moisturiser, perfect for dry days and straw stalls.


Aesthetics that speak about the class of the caregiver

It's not just about protection. It's also about elegance. Shiny, well-groomed hooves are a symbol of care, attention to detail and respect for the animal. It's like polished shoes in the world of fashion - they may not catch the eye at first glance, but they make an impression.

🔹 We recommend:
👉 Carr&Day&Martin Cornucrescine Daily Hoof Dressing – a classic choice for those who value shine without compromise. Gives an elegant finish and improves the appearance of even the most demanding hooves.

When to act more intensively?

🔍 Cracks and delamination appear?
🔍 Are your hooves too dry, brittle or too soft?
🔍 Does your horse have an unpleasant odor from its hooves?

This is a sign that it is worth reaching for a more specialized treatment . Regularity and observation are key.
