Farnam Rain Maker Triple Action Hoof Moisturizer and Conditioner for Horses, prevents cracks and contracted heels 32 Fluid Ounces

My mare is barefoot and her hooves used to get all chipped up and would get vertical cracks. I use this 3 times a week and boy do I notice a difference. I apply it everywhere; frog, bulbs, coronary band, all over. Her frogs are also more pliable and not hard and dry. I like that it's something I don't have to apply on a daily basis, since I'm not able to be at the barn every day due to my work schedule. In the cold weather it does get really thick and hard to reach with the brush but I simply let it sit in the sun while I ride and that seems to do the trick.

I've been using Rain Maker for as long as I can remember, at first just because it's what everyone else was using, but once I had horses of my own (and was buying more grooming supplies) I really started to appreciate it. My current horse has pretty solid feet, but like any horse, his hooves are still prone to vertical cracks: I use Rain Maker a few times a week for regular maintenance, and it's worked like a charm. Keeps my guy's hooves pliant and looking pretty! I've found it to be a great value for the price too. The only really comparable product, in terms of ingredients, is Hooflex, which costs about 10 cents more per ounce, and doesn't include aloe or natural proteins as does Rain Maker! My ONLY complaint about Rain Maker is the consistency. It gets very thick and sticky in cold weather, and is difficult get the last bit of dressing out of the can, as it sticks to the bottom and sides. I usually just cut it with water or a small amount of rubbing alcohol, but it is definitely a bit of a pain.
