We believe the best solutions often come from tradition. That’s why we’ve brought back a time-tested formula used by horsemen for over a hundred years—an all-natural blend of lard and pine tar that’s as effective today as it was a century ago.
Why Lard?
Lard is a natural moisturizer that penetrates deep into the hoof wall, softening and conditioning it from the inside out. It helps prevent cracking, brittleness, and excessive drying, especially in hot summer months or during dry winters. Unlike many synthetic conditioners, lard mimics the natural oils of the hoof, keeping it supple while still allowing it to breathe.
Why Pine Tar?
Pine tar has been trusted for generations as a natural antiseptic and protective barrier. It helps fight bacterial and fungal issues that can lead to thrush or white line disease, while also sealing in moisture. Its sticky consistency not only helps the product stay on the hoof but also offers a protective shield against harsh elements, mud,and manure.
The Result:
When combined, lard and pine tar create a powerful, balanced hoof care solution that:
- Moisturizes and softens hooves
- Protects against cracking and chipping
- Helps prevent thrush and fungal problems
- Shields hooves from environmental damage
- Supports long-term hoof health naturally.
