FAQs
Can this be used on unshod horses?
Yes, Kevin Bacon's Hoof Dressing is safe and beneficial for both shod and barefoot horses to keep the hoof wall and frog healthy.
How often should I apply the dressing?
For best results, it is recommended to apply the product daily as part of your grooming routine, especially when weather conditions are extreme.
Does this product contain any chemicals?
No, it is formulated from 100% natural ingredients, specifically animal fats and fresh bay leaves, with no solvents or petroleum.
Will it stain my hands?
Because of the tar base, it can leave a dark residue. It is recommended to use a brush for application or wear gloves.
Can I use this on the sole and frog?
Yes, the dressing is intended for use on the entire hoof, including the wall, sole, and frog, to provide comprehensive protection.
How long will a 250ml container last?
Usage depends on the size of the horse's hooves and frequency of application, but a 250ml container typically lasts several weeks with daily use.
Troubleshooting
The dressing is too thick to apply
The product is based on natural fats which harden in cold weather. Place the container in a warmer area or in a bucket of warm water for a few minutes to soften.
Product is washing off quickly in deep mud
Ensure the hoof is properly cleaned and dried before application. In cases of extremely deep mud, re-apply once daily rather than every other day to reinforce the protective layer.
Residue buildup on the hoof
Use a stiff hoof brush to remove the old layer of product before applying a fresh coat to ensure the hoof can breathe and maintain its structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the product, store the 250ml container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can alter the consistency of the animal fats. If the dressing becomes too hard in cold temperatures, it can be slightly warmed (do not overheat) to return it to a spreadable texture. This product is compatible with all horse breeds and can be used safely on shod or unshod horses. Always ensure the hoof is free from debris, such as manure or loose bedding, before application to prevent sealing bacteria inside the hoof structure.
