Product Description

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 infections. Unlike liquid treatments 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 treatment 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 healing.

Ingredients

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

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.

Instructions for 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.

FAQ

How is Botanical Blue Clay different from liquid thrush treatments?

Unlike liquid treatments that run off before they can work, Botanical Blue Clay packs into the hoof and dries into a durable treatment patch. This creates a protective barrier that locks out moisture, mud, and manure while continuously releasing active botanical ingredients into the problem area for long-lasting results.

Can I use Botanical Blue Clay on barefoot hooves?

Absolutely. Botanical Blue Clay works on both shod and barefoot hooves. For barefoot horses, the clay packs directly into the collateral grooves and frog crevices where bacteria thrive — no shoe required to hold it in place. The clay adheres firmly to the hoof structure on its own and dries into a protective patch that stays put.

Is the copper sulfate in Botanical Blue Clay caustic or harmful to my horse's hooves?

No. While pure copper sulfate on its own can be harsh, our formulation is specifically designed to eliminate that risk. Botanical Blue Clay uses a dense matrix of Kaolin and Sodium Bentonite clays that bind copper ions through natural cation exchange, buffering the pH and controlling how the copper is released. The result is a formula that delivers copper sulfate's proven antimicrobial benefits without the burning or tissue damage associated with liquid copper sulfate solutions. Clinically effective, yet gentle enough for daily use on sensitive hooves.

Can I use this on white line disease and thrush at the same time?

Absolutely. The clay packs firmly into collateral grooves, crevices, and along the white line — wherever bacteria hide. It works on both conditions simultaneously by sealing out contaminants and creating the conditions for uninterrupted recovery.

How long should I use Botanical Blue Clay on my horse?

Apply daily until the infection is fully cleared. For severe thrush or white line disease, most horse owners see significant improvement within 1–2 weeks of consistent daily application. Clean the hoof thoroughly before each application for best results.
