Worlds Best Hoof Oil

(8)

From $16.95

The Worlds Best Hoof Oil has 100% genuine, pure and undiluted natural ingredients and has been tested and used for over 50 years. With 5 natural oils and vitamins that absorb quickly and promote healthy hooves, Worlds Best Hoof Oil is ideal for any breed of horse that requires quick, strong healthy growth for work, ring, racetrack or pleasure.

Because Worlds Best Hoof Oil really works you need only to lightly paint the hoof. It is easy to apply and does not solidify in the cold of the morning or in winter.

DIRECTIONS:

Always shake the bottle (to mix all the oils together).
Apply lightly to the hoof with the brush paying particular attention to the area on and just above the coronet band and do the entire hoof face, top to bottom.

Do not apply heavy amounts, as this will not make the hoof healthier, or repair the hoof any quicker. Mother nature cannot work faster than the horses own optimum ability It will simply waste your time and money.

The product contains pure oils and ingredients and therefore, what goes on, really goes to work immediately.

You will see it goes into the hoof really quickly (just like a quality vitamin E cream on your own skin).

If the hoof is wet you will find that it doesn't sit on the hoof in "globs" to collect dirt and dust and it will not be wiped/brushed off. The patented Saligari oil will help prevent the hoof drying out in summer and the cold and damp getting in during winter because it doesn't seal the hoof like other dressings. The hoof will be able to breathe but be protected from within.

For Normal Upkeep (for good horse husbandry):

Use every second day after work. This can be adjusted according to the weather and if there is a drought, however under normal circumstances for a hoof in good condition 4 applications a week is more than enough even if the horse is being worked and washed daily. For non working horses this can be as little as 2 or 3 times a week.

Apply lightly to the entire hoof paying particular attention to the area on and just above the coronet band and the rest of the face of the hoof. Apply to the frog and sole only 1 or 2 times a week. Again because it really works and goes in, too much can make the frog go soft. Oiling the sole/frog will aid in the reduction of concussion, in most cases and aid the "whiteline area".

Minor repair of broken or hard hooves or shelley hooves:

First week use 5 times a week, and then revert to normal upkeep.

Apply lightly to the entire hoof paying particular attention to the area on and just above the coronet band and for the first week picking and applying to the sole and the frog of the hoof.

For very serious Grass/Sand Splits and Dried out/badly broken Hooves:

For the first 2 weeks apply top and bottom of the hoof once a day. Reduce this to the top only paying attention to the coronet band for another 2 weeks, depending on the condition and severity in the first place. Thereafter, you can go back to normal upkeep of 2-4 times a week for normal maintenance.

Oil the frog/sole 1-2 times a week only once on maintenance.

You can allow as little as 6 weeks for a serious and dangerous perennial split going 3/4 the way up to the coronet band to be totally under control GUARANTEED and around 8-10 weeks to grow out depending on the overall health of the horse.

The product cannot repair a god given or genetic fault in any animal, however, it will aid quickly the repair and health of any hoof that has been a normal hoof and that has suffered for one reason or another through neglect, drought, flooding, or simply hard work.

Remember, it is just as important to oil and keep the hoof in good condition in the middle of winter as it is in the dry of summer, as the hoof soaks up water something like a sponge and this is not good for any horse.

How to measure for Tubbease:
Simply measure the widest diameter of your horse’s hoof sole (this might be length or width depending on which is longer) and select one of the Tubbease sizes.

Tubbease can also be fitted over horseshoes.

Please note: The Tubbease dimensions shown indicate the maximum internal diameter of the Tubbease cup not the diameter of the hoof.

Step 1: After preparing or medicating the hoof, open sock wide and pull Tubbease over hoof.

Step 2: Check Tubbease is fitting hoof correctly and then pull sock up firmly.

Step 3: With sock taut, fit hook and loop strap to lower pastern with hook side facing sock. Ensure one finger space under strap.

Tubbease should always be secured with the hook and loop strap supplied. A bandage is not suitable or adequate.

Step 4: With hoof on the ground, simply pour in treatment solution as required, or submerge fitted hoof into a bucket of your chosen solution for deeper soaking.

Important: Tubbease Hoof Socks are not enduring boots. They are for short-term use in confirmed enclosures by restrained animals. Judgement should be exercised.

SwellDOWN's special mixture of montmorillonite clay and unique therapeutic ingredients has a cooling effect on injuries often caused by hard knocks or jarring. The clay, used as a poultice, draws out heat and reduces swelling commonly generated at damaged sites to aid a more rapid recovery.

Magnesium Sulphate: Delivers the cooling drawing action to lessen pain.
Potassium Aluminium Sulphate: Works to 'tighten' the leg, keeping swelling and inflammation at a minimum.
Calcium Carbonate: Adjusts the poultice to the correct pH level.
Oil of Peppermint and Eucalyptus:

Reduces muscle pain and inflammation.
Creates a cooling sensation; keeps horse is comfortable during treatment
Antiseptic properties help to disinfect any minor cuts/abrasions present under poultice.

Glycerine: A humectant (retains moisture) which softens & moisturises the skin. Reduces itchiness.
Wet montmorillonite clay: Binds the actives together and keeps them wet, so effective for longer.

The Decron Leg Wrap Poultice provides a natural herbal remedy and essential oils in a glycerine base that provides an ideal aid to the management of lower limb problems and wounds.

The "Drawing' agent:

Glycerine is a powerful osmotic agent that 'draws' or pulls fluids.
The removal of excess fluid relieves pressure within the tissues reducing pain and allowing fresh tissue fluid to move into the area, bringing the protective blood cells, oxygen and the nutrients necessary to resist infection and support natural healing*.

The Natural Antiseptic and Anti-inflammatory Agents:

The essential oils in the Decron herbal osmotic gel have a long history in herbal medicine of powerful antiseptic and healing properties:

Lavender Oil (lavandula augustifolia) has been shown to have strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory actions with mild local anaesthetic actions and a positive effect on wound healing.
Melaleuca Oil (melaleuca alternifolia) has been shown to have bactericidal and fungicidal properties with mild anti-inflammatory actions. It is widely used used in the treatment of many human various skin disorders.
Arnica (arnica montana) has been shown to have an anti-arthritic action reducing pain and stiffness in inflamed joints.
It has been traditionally usedas a topical application in conditions such as strains and bruises. Arnica has a demonstrated anti-inflammatory action.

How to apply the Decron Leg Wrap Poultice:

Before using the Decron Leg Wrap Poultice, thoroughly clean the wound area or inflamed limb with a non-irritant antiseptic scrub and clean your own hands thoroughly.
Cut the top of the Decron Leg Wrap Poultice package along the dotted line, above the resealable seal.
Remove the Decron Leg Wrap Poultice from the package.
Use either the whole piece of Leg Wrap Poultice or cut down to required size (make sure it is big enough to cover entire affected area)
Peel off the plastic backing.
Place sticky side of the Decron Leg Wrap Poultice onto affected area or wound.
Place a leg pad or cotton wool over the Decron Leg Wrap Poultice and then bandage with a stable bandage or a cohesive bandage.

Application times:

Apply each application for 24 hours.

Leave first treatment on for 24 hours and re-assess the injury. A second application can be left in place for up to 48 hours if required.

When treating an open wound, it is advisable to change the Decron Leg Wrap
Poultice after 24 hours.

When the wrap is removed it is usual to see a sticky yellow substance on the wrap. This is tissue fluid and the remains of bacteria that have been killed by the body's white blood cells and the essential oils of the Leg Wrap Poultice which is drawn to the surface of the wound.

This wound should be thoroughly cleaned with a salt water solution prior to the application of another Decron Leg Wrap Poultice.

If the condition does not appear to be responding after the application period, then veterinary advice must be obtained.
