348239 Venice Turpentine, 14 oz

Great product for horses in FL with wet moist ground . Protects them with soft soles.Missing my horse after 28yrs old she passed 2yrs ago.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My farrier recommended we use turpentine on our horses hoofs to strengthen them. Since we have been using it his hoofs are harder and lasting better with the banging from the flys.

So far so good. This product does seem to be toughening up the hooves of the donkey we are using it on. It is a bit messy to use and I strongly suggest you carefully clean the threads on the brush cap and tin after each use so you don't have to use locking pliers to get it off the next time.We tried heavy brown paper to place on each hoof after applying the product so that the donkey wouldn't pick up a stone or other debris until the product sets - as it is very sticky - but the brown paper didn't work. What did work was the wax paper. Simply hold it in place for 15-20 seconds after applying the turpentine and it should stick well enough to allow your equine to walk away with the paper still intact. Once the product sets up the paper will fall off. The product requires you use a pick and a brush to clean the hoof before applying and even a very light scraping with a hoof knife so you get to a relatively clean hoof that will allow the product to penetrate. All in all a pretty good product and solution to our soft hoof problem. Don't apply it for about a week before your farrier visit as it will gum up files.

Love this product. I use 1x a week on my horses soles and it keeps his feet tough.

We have a couple of horses with tender soles especially on gravel. With the use of Venice Turpentine their soles hardened up quickly and no more soreness. My only issue was with how the product arrived. The can had several dents which made it sit unevenly on the ground. We were still able to use it though.

The media could not be loaded. I used a jar on my Morgan’s feet and he is not tripping as much.

This product has really helped my horses hoof health. I recommend 100%

Classic product to toughen the soles. I live in WA and it rains for days and then gets super dry, all that change in weather can weaken horses feet, farrier recommended applying to the sole of the feet (not the frog) 2x a week. She’s barefoot in the back and it hardened her feet nicely. Clean and dry the sole first and be careful it’s very sticky and will stain clothing.
