348239 Venice Turpentine, 16 oz

This stuff is so sticky. Very waterproof for hoves.

Horse's hooves were trimmed a bit short and this made him more comfortable in the grow out process.

Been using this in the barn for years. Works well and very affordable.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: My farrier recommended we use turpentine on our horses hoofs to strengthen them. Since we have been using it his hoofs are harder and lasting better with the banging from the flys.

Great product. We use this once a week on our mare. Living in Florida’s wet, soggy environment creates many hoof issues. This solves them.

Does a great job drying out hooves. Really thick needs to have optional heater available to purchase as well

My trainer (well respected on national level) suggested using this on the horses hooves if/when they are exposed to wet/damp settings. Not used daily, only if concerns about thrush or some related conditions. In my case it seems to work (on the horses, not me 🙂).

So far so good. This product does seem to be toughening up the hooves of the donkey we are using it on. It is a bit messy to use and I strongly suggest you carefully clean the threads on the brush cap and tin after each use so you don't have to use locking pliers to get it off the next time. We tried heavy brown paper to place on each hoof after applying the product so that the donkey wouldn't pick up a stone or other debris until the product sets - as it is very sticky - but the brown paper didn't work. What did work was the wax paper. Simply hold it in place for 15-20 seconds after applying the turpentine and it should stick well enough to allow your equine to walk away with the paper still intact. Once the product sets up the paper will fall off. The product requires you use a pick and a brush to clean the hoof before applying and even a very light scraping with a hoof knife so you get to a relatively clean hoof that will allow the product to penetrate. All in all a pretty good product and solution to our soft hoof problem. Don't apply it for about a week before your farrier visit as it will gum up files.
