SUPPLEMENT - HOOF HEALTH IN PRACTICE

Optimal Performance during competition

• Explanation: During performance, blood vessels naturally dilate, increasing pressure in the hoof's "life" areas. This can cause discomfort and performance loss depending on hoof sensitivity. This supplement reduces hoof pressure during performance, ensuring doping-free optimal performance and prolonging peak performance.
• Dosage: 1 dose* the evening before the competition and on the competition day(s), 5 hours before the start.
• Remarks: Depending on the horse’s sensitivity, it may be advisable to begin administration one or two days earlier.

Reduce hoof sensitivity (heat and/or pressure)

• Explanation: For issues originating in the hoof (e.g., hematoma, abscess, nail prick, etc.), this supplement, when administered over consecutive days, accumulates in the body and supports natural recovery. Useful for preparations for events like inspections or competitions.
• Dosage: 1 dose* daily for at least 5 days.
• Remarks: The supplement continues working after administration if given for at least 5 consecutive days.

Hoof health treatment

• Explanation: Modern (sport) horse management often limits hoof mechanism activation. This supplement promotes healthy blood circulation and a well-functioning hoof mechanism.
• Dosage: 1 dose* daily for 10 days.
• Remarks: It also improves blood flow in finer capillaries.

Hoof Cracks (from the coronet band)

• Explanation: For hoof cracks caused by obstructed blood flow in the coronet band, this supplement supports healing.
• Dosage: 1 dose* daily for 10 days.
• Remarks: This is specific to cracks resulting from reduced blood flow.

Reduce sensitivity and pressure with Laminitis

• Explanation: This supplement reduces hoof pressure to lower the risk of further rotation of the coffin bone. Not suitable for complex laminitis cases with high toxin levels in the blood.
• Dosage: 2 doses* daily for 5 days.
• Remarks: First address the underlying cause in collaboration with a veterinarian.

Maintain healthy circulation during long transports (trailer, truck, or plane)

• Explanation: When a horse remains stationary for extended periods, hoof circulation decreases due to reduced activation of the hoof mechanism. This supplement supports better circulation even during transport.
• Dosage: 1 dose* ideally 5 hours before transport.
• Remarks: During air travel, low oxygen levels may alter blood composition, further affecting circulation.

For shod or barefoot horses

• Explanation: For shod horses, the supplement supports reduced hoof mechanisms, stimulating circulation. For barefoot horses, it can help with thinner soles or increased hoof sensitivity.
• Dosage: At least 5 consecutive days of 1 dose* per day.

Sensitivity after shoeing

• Explanation: Some horses are routinely sensitive after shoeing. This supplement aids faster recovery, facilitating the resumption of training.
• Dosage: As needed, 1 dose* for 1 or several days.

Note: Hoof sensitivity can also result from poor quality (brittle hooves) or reduced hoof growth. Check the website for a new powdered supplement that can be used separately or in combination.

*1 dose = 5 ml per 100 kg body weight. Each oral syringe contains 30 ml (suitable for a 600 kg horse).
