Love your horse? Then help keep him sound this Valentines…..
Rather than buy your horse an extra bag of carrots this Valentines why not treat him to some of the “red” Nettex products that will show him really how much you love him! Challenging weather can often mean that horses may be standing in a damp environment that is not ideal for foot health. Nettex Frog Health works effectively to maintain healthy soles and frogs despite challenging environmental conditions. It contains powerful bactericides and fungicides that will help dry any discharge that appears in the frog. Used in conjunction with regularly picking out the feet and good stable management you should be able to get through Valentines and beyond with a sound horse who will appreciate you looking after his feet.
Nettex Hoof Tar is a traditional antibacterial disinfectant with a barrier action to help support hooves to help maintain a healthy sole and frog. It works by producing a water-resistant, yet breathable film that prevents the re-entry of dirt and bacteria and, when used regularly, helps support the frog and sole all year round.
Finally, keep your horse’s feet looking and feeling great on the day of love with Nettex Traditional Hoof Oil. This non-spirit formula nourishes the horse’s hooves, while allowing them to breathe and still function at their best. This product’s added antibacterial agents can also offer support from foot-related conditions caused by bacteria, when applied to the underside of the foot. Light in consistency and non-greasy, Nettex Traditional Hoof Oil won’t leave the feet dry or with any discolouration, and it comes with a built-in brush allowing horse owners to apply it without getting it all over their hands.
The old saying No Hoof No horse has never been truer during the winter months, so that’s Valentines wrapped up this year!
Nettex Frog Health RRP: £9.16 for 250ml Nettex Hoof Tar RRP: £9.79 for 300ml Nettex Traditional Hoof Oil RRP: £7.47 for 400ml
