Description

Size: 24 oz

Stop severe thrush and white line disease in their tracks with a hoof packing clay that actually stays where you put it.

Botanical Blue Clay is a highly concentrated natural hoof packing designed for the most stubborn, deep-seated hoof conditions. Unlike liquid products that run off before they can work, this powerful clay formula anchors firmly to the hoof wall and packs deep into collateral grooves and crevices where bacteria hide.

Once applied, the clay dries into a durable packing patch — a protective barrier that locks out moisture, mud, and manure while continuously releasing active botanical ingredients into the problem area. It's not a quick fix. It's a long-lasting shield that creates the conditions for real, uninterrupted recovery.

Why It Works
  • Stays in Place: Adheres to the hoof to provide continuous treatment.
  • Deep Penetration: Reaches deep crevices where bacteria hide.
  • Protective Barrier: Seals out debris to prevent reinfection.
Ingredients

Copper Sulfate, Kaolin Clay, Sodium Bentonite, Baking Soda, Distilled Vinegar, Tea Tree Oil, Clove Oil.

How to Use
  1. Clean: Thoroughly pick out and clean the hoof. Be gentle around sensitive, severely infected areas.
  2. Pack: Press the Blue Clay firmly into the affected areas, collateral grooves, and crevices to ensure full coverage.
  3. Wrap (Optional): For maximum absorption, you may wrap the hoof to keep the clay secure overnight.
  4. Repeat: Re-apply daily until the infection is fully cleared.

Well, it did not stay in as promised. Clean,dry hoof, in it went and it was gone the following day.

This stuff is FANTASTIC! Cleared up the funk within a week or so. Stays where you put it squishes down into the hard to get areas. I also love that it is an all natural, no harsh chemicals product that actually works! Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from over-the-counter hoof packings?
Most commercial hoof packings rely on copper sulfate and not much else. Botanical Blue Clay layers copper sulfate with kaolin clay, sodium bentonite, baking soda, distilled vinegar, tea tree oil, and clove oil — a formula designed to actively pull moisture and bacteria out while sealing the area for continuous treatment.
How often should I apply it?
For active hoof concerns, pack daily. The clay creates a continuous treatment zone that works between applications. For maintenance, 2–3 times per week keeps issues from coming back.
Do I have to wrap the hoof?
Wrapping is optional but recommended for severe cases or overnight applications. The clay holds well on its own thanks to its texture, but a wrap maximizes contact time and absorption.
Can I use this on a horse with shoes?
Yes. Pack the clay into the collateral grooves and crevices around the frog. Avoid packing it tightly between the shoe and the hoof wall.
Will it stain my hands or my horse's coat?
The blue color comes from the copper sulfate. It can leave a slight tint on light coats and skin if it makes contact, but it rinses off easily with water.
