When a Hoof Conditioner is Really Necessary

Ray Tricca of SBS Equine discusses the importance of keeping hooves well-conditioned

For generations, horse owners have seen the benefits of coating hooves with
various substances for their protection and flexibility. Additionally, some old-time
farriers have reported success in improving the hoof condition by abrading the
coronet band to increase blood flow to the hoof.

We do not recommend this procedure today because of the chances of infection.
However, the fundamental scientific principles they were trying to achieve, such as
increasing blood flow, maintaining the internal moisture of the hoof wall, and
repelling harmful substances, are as valid today as they were then.

Does your horse have soft, mushy hooves, dry, brittle, cracked feet, seedy toe,
slow-growing hooves, structural damage, diseased hooves, or other problems? Is
the current environment wet or dry, cold or hot? Knowing some basic biology and
functions of the hoof will help influence your decision.

The Composition of the Hoof Wall 
The hoof wall is the weight-bearing structure of the hoof and composed of
thousands of tiny hollow fibers called tubules. These tubules run vertically from
the coronary band and are cemented together with a protein substance called
keratin. Layer upon layer of these tubules act like springs to absorb tremendous
amounts of concussive force while retaining the necessary tensile strength. 

The elasticity of these tubules and the hoof wall, in general, is dependent on its
internal moisture content. Moisture is not merely water, but a mix of salts and
electrolytes such as found in an I.V. solution. Without this essential moisture, the
hoof wall would dry up, crack, become brittle, and generally fail at its job of a leaf
spring/shock absorber. Too much moisture, on the other hand, can make a hoof too
soft, mushy, and fail to absorb its concussive load. We now understand that a hoof
conditioner should help maintain the natural moisture balance found within the
hoof wall.

Do Wild Horses Have Hoof Problems? 
You may ask, “Why don’t wild horses have hoof problems? Why do I need hoof
protection if I don’t have any hoof problems now?” The simple answer is in the
domestication of the horse. The periople is a natural protein protective covering on
the hoof wall that protects the feet against harmful contaminants. Thus the hoof
makes its natural, delicate hoof sealant. 

This natural sealant serves wild horses well, but it is lost in a domestic
environment. It is inadvertently removed during the shoeing process when the hoof
is trimmed, balanced, leveled, and shod. Domesticated horses can no longer roam
free over miles of open space but are confined to smaller pastures, paddocks and
stalls. 

Now, with little or no natural sealant left and with the horn tubules opened from
nail holes and rasping, hooves are exposed to higher concentrations of destructive
uric acid and other contaminants. With the protective outer covering removed, the
introduction of these agents into the hoof wall can lead to the breakdown of its
protein, keratin. It is important to remember that because the hoof is protein, it is
potentially biodegradable. Domesticated horses need a hoof conditioner that
effectively replaces the periople. 

Early Hoof Conditioners 
Tiny openings on the hoof wall, from cracks and nail holes, are the main pathways
for infection from bacteria, fungus, or other contaminants. Your grandfather and his
grandfather before him intuitively used a type of hoof conditioner called pine tar.
This product acted as a precursor to modern hoof conditioners as it helped to retain
moisture in the hoof wall. Pine tar, unfortunately, had its drawbacks, but Grandpa
was on the right track.

Later came various products that contained oils and petroleum-based ingredients
that were used with limited success to coat the hoof and fill in the nail holes. Hoof
conditioners that contain pine tar, salves, and oils usually stay fluid (wet) after they
are applied and breakdown quickly when exposed to the environment. These
dressings are usually sticky, and as such, attract contaminants instead of repelling
them.

Their applications actually may be counter-productive because they can serve as a
bacterial and fungal growth medium when they decay in a small crack or nail hole.
These organisms produce enzymes and exotoxins that can break down collagen
and protein in the hoof wall. If you do not get disease of the hoof wall, the least
that can happen is that the hoof can get soft and punky at the nail holes. If this
happens, your horse will throw more than its fair share of shoes.

Modern Day Hoof Conditioners 
Some of the modern-day hoof conditioners were a spin-off from the field of
dentistry. For years, dentists have been coating children’s teeth with synthetic
sealants to keep them protected against tooth decay. Someone had the idea to try
this same technique and apply it to horses’ hooves. Others tried fingernail polish to
provide a cosmetic shine. These synthetic coatings, such as methyl cellulose
(fingernail polish) and urethane polymers, can outperform hoof oils, salves, and
pine tar, but they have their limitations on hooves.

Synthetic sealants are impervious to moisture and do not allow the beneficial
transpiration (water vapor transmission) to occur through the sole and frog where
the foot needs to breathe. As a result, synthetic sealants can only be used on the
hoof wall, not on the sole and frog, where serious protection is also needed. 

The latest scientific methods have given us dual-action hoof conditioners that coat
and protect the entire hoof capsule (horn, sole, and frog). They are not synthetic
substances made from petroleum chemicals. They contain natural protein
emulsions that help maintain the hoof’s natural moisture balance. Unlike hoof oils,
salves, and pine tar that remain fluid (a sticky liquid), the new modern coatings
dry/cure to a battle-hardened finish, and last longer. 

They are called “dual-action” hoof conditioners because they also contain the
scientific ingredients known to provide the hoof with an antiseptic barrier against
infection. Grandpa would have been proud to use these products had the
technology existed in his day. Thanks, Grandpa, for getting us this far! For more
