Winter will be here before you know it and with colder weather comes dry and cracking hooves. Try this easy tip to prevent dry feet this winter.

Even though we are all still thinking about pumpkin spice and fall foliage, the hard winter weather is right around the corner. Instead of waiting until your horse’s hooves are dry and cracking to start conditioning them, get ahead of the game and start now. 

Tip of the Week: Start treating your horse’s feet with a daily conditioner and hardener now so they are ready for the dry winter weather. This will give them the best chance of holding up all season long and can prevent any long-term damage.
