Hoof care
Strong, elastic and well-groomed hooves are the basis of a healthy horse.
At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully selected collection of hoof care products that contribute to strong hooves, natural growth, and optimal hydration . From hoof oil and tar to nourishing balms and serums, every product in our range has been tested for effectiveness, safety, and durability .
Why Hoof Care is Essential
The hooves bear the horse's entire weight. Temperature fluctuations, humidity, dryness, or intensive training can affect the quality of the horn.
Regular care prevents:
- Crumbling hooves and cracks,
- Dried out or too soft hooves ,
- Bacterial infections in the frog or sole,
- Loss of elasticity and resilience .
With the right products you can keep your hooves strong, resilient and well protected all year round.
