Venice Turpentine, 16 oz

Hawthorne Venice Turpentine has been my go-to product for sore soles for as long as I can remember. My current mare is a TBx and she inherited the sensitive TB hooves. While she has great growth, she has thin soles that can be prone to sensitivity, especially on dry, rocky ground. I will put this on the soles of her hoof, including the bulbs and frog, after a hard schooling ride, after a trail ride, or even when my ring has been dry for too many days in a row. While the product is on the stickier side, I find that wiping down the brush applicator before putting it away, prolongs the use. This helps to clear any sand or dirt I may have missed that got attached to the brush applicator before sealing it closed.

Our rescue gelding suffered hoof neglect for the first 5 years of his life. We were told that he was pasture sound unless the ground became frozen. When it did he could only walk one foot at a time and was very sore. As soon as we received our package from Smartpak we began applying this product and saw improvement within days. He is still careful when the ground is frozen, but walks freely and is back to his usual cheerful and outgoing disposition. Thank you Smartpak for your fast shipping. It made a huge difference for our boy.
