The daily hoof conditioner your horse actually needs — not the petroleum-heavy stuff sitting on the shelf at the feed store.

Most hoof dressings out there are built on petroleum bases. They look shiny, smell harsh, and over time they dry the hoof out and lead to cracking. Botanical Hoof Balm is the opposite — a fully natural, cream-style conditioner crafted to keep the hoof wall and frog moisturized, conditioned, and protected day after day. No petroleum. No synthetics. No shortcuts.

It's the perfect daily follow-up for horses recovering from thrush, and the kind of product you can keep reaching for long after the issue clears — because healthy hooves need consistent care, not a one-and-done fix.

Packaged in a 24 oz wide-mouth jar — so your brush reaches every corner and every last scoop, right down to the bottom. No thin-neck competitor jars leaving product trapped where you can't get to it.

Why It Works

Conditions Without Suffocating: Sunflower oil and lanolin nourish the hoof wall and the soft tissue around the frog while letting the hoof breathe.
Locks in Moisture: White beeswax creates a breathable barrier that holds moisture in and keeps the elements out.
Supports Hoof Firmness: A small, balanced touch of Venice turpentine helps maintain hoof strength without over-hardening.
Clean Environment: Rosemary and tea tree oils help discourage the damp, dirty conditions that fungus and bacteria love.
Stays Where You Put It: Thick, creamy texture clings to the hoof — no running off into the bedding.

Ingredients

Sunflower Oil, Lanolin, White Beeswax, Venice Turpentine, Rosemary Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil.

How to Use

Clean: Pick out the hoof and brush off any loose dirt or debris.
Apply: Use the Botanical Hoof Balm boar bristle brush (available as an add-on) to work a thin, even layer across the hoof wall and underneath, around the frog.
Wipe the Brush: Wipe excess balm from the brush after each use and store it separately — never back inside the jar.
Repeat: Apply daily for ongoing hoof maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the hoof conditioners I find at the feed store?

Most off-the-shelf hoof dressings are petroleum-based. They look shiny and smell harsh, but over time petroleum actually pulls moisture out of the hoof, which leads to drying and cracking. Botanical Hoof Balm is fully natural — built on sunflower oil, lanolin, and white beeswax to deeply condition the hoof wall and frog without sealing the hoof off. We also blend in Venice turpentine to help support hoof firmness, plus rosemary and tea tree essential oils to help keep the hoof environment clean and discourage the damp conditions where fungus and bacteria take hold. Every ingredient has a job. Nothing filler, nothing synthetic.

When should I use Hoof Balm vs. Botanical Blue Clay?

Blue Clay is the workhorse for stubborn issues like thrush and white line — it packs deep and creates a treatment zone. Botanical Hoof Balm is the daily follow-up: once the hoof is clean and healthy, the Balm keeps it conditioned, moisturized, and supported so problems don't come back. Many customers run them together — Blue Clay during the issue, Hoof Balm after.

How often should I apply it?

Daily is ideal. The Balm is built to be a low-effort, everyday product — apply a thin layer across the hoof wall and underneath around the frog. Even 3–4 times a week makes a noticeable difference in hoof condition over time.

Do I need the brush, or can I apply it by hand?

You can absolutely use your hands, but the boar bristle brush (available as an add-on) makes application faster, cleaner, and more even — and it keeps dirt out of the jar since the brush stays separate. Most customers grab the brush.

Can I use it on a horse with shoes?

Yes. Apply it across the hoof wall and into the sole and frog area as normal. Shoes don't interfere with the Balm's job.

Will it attract dirt or debris in the paddock?

The Balm has a thick, creamy texture — not a runny oil — so it stays on the hoof rather than soaking into bedding or pulling dirt up like greasy dressings do. A daily pick-out is all you need.
