The Worlds Best Hoof Oil has 100% genuine, pure and undiluted natural ingredients and has been tested and used for over 50 years. With 5 natural oils and vitamins that absorb quickly and promote healthy hooves, Worlds Best Hoof Oil is ideal for any breed of horse that requires quick, strong healthy growth for work, ring, racetrack or pleasure. Because Worlds Best Hoof Oil really works you need only to lightly paint the hoof. It is easy to apply and does not solidify in the cold of the morning or in winter. DIRECTIONS: Always shake the bottle (to mix all the oils together). Apply lightly to the hoof with the brush paying particular attention to the area on and just above the coronet band and do the entire hoof face, top to bottom. Do not apply heavy amounts, as this will not make the hoof healthier, or repair the hoof any quicker. Mother nature cannot work faster than the horses own optimum ability. It will simply waste your time and money. The product contains pure oils and ingredients and therefore, what goes on, really goes to work immediately. You will see it goes into the hoof really quickly (just like a quality vitaminE cream on you own skin). If the hoof is wet you will find that it doesn't sit on the hoof in "globs" to collect dirt and dust and it will not be wiped/brushed off. The patented Saligari oil will help prevent the hoof drying out in summer and the cold and damp getting in during winter because it doesn't seal the hoof like other dressings. The hoof will be able to breathe but be protected from within.
