Birdsall's Farrier Barrier with Brush - 16oz

My horse has been on day turn out 365 days a year because his feet do not hold up in night turnout with our dewy pastures. He is semi-retired now and we decided to try night time turnout so he could be with his pasture mates. Knowing his feet fall apart I spent an afternoon reading hoof product descriptions and decided to try the Birdsall's Farrier Barrier because it specifically mentioned dew. Luckily, the day it arrived the farrier was at the barn and was impressed with the ingredients...Long story short, we applied it everyday for 7 days and then applied it every two or three days since then. To date, my horse has made it through two six week farrier cycles without losing a shoe! This is a horse who's feet crack and 'crush' at the cleats after prolonged periods in wet grass! Disclaimer: I am using the Farrier Barrier in conjunction with Life Data Hoof Clay. We seal the nail holes and areas around the hoof with the clay after shoeing prior to applying the Farrier Barrier. That hoof clay is awesome too!

Farrier Barrier was recommended to me by a previous farrier to correct severe thrush that a new horse arrived with. It has not only cleared up the thrush but helped keep my horses feet happy and healthy. I swear by this product for both Florida's rainy season and dry season. It protects, heals, and conditions hooves all in one simple application. I'm so glad that SmartPak now sells this!
