FAQs
How often should I apply Lincoln Classic Hoof Ointment?
For the best results, it is recommended to apply the ointment daily to clean, dry hooves.
Can this be used on horses with sensitive hooves?
Yes, it is designed for general hoof health, but always patch test if your horse has a history of skin sensitivities.
Does this product help with hoof cracks?
It helps maintain suppleness which can prevent further cracking, but deep structural cracks should be addressed by a farrier.
Is this safe to use on the sole of the hoof?
The product is primarily designed for the hoof wall. Focus application on the outer wall for maintenance.
How long will a 500g pot last?
Usage depends on the size of the horse and frequency of use, but a 500g pot typically lasts several weeks with daily application.
Troubleshooting
Ointment is too hard to spread
Keep the pot in a warmer area for a short time before application to soften the ingredients.
Hoof wall remains brittle despite use
Ensure the hoof is clean before application and check with your farrier regarding dietary supplements or underlying issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the ointment, ensure you have a clean application brush dedicated to hoof care. The product is compatible with all horse breeds and ages, and it works well alongside standard hoof hygiene routines. Store the 500g pot in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the ointment from melting or separating. Always replace the lid tightly after each use to keep contaminants out and maintain the product's consistency. If the ointment becomes firm in cold temperatures, placing it in a warmer area for a few minutes will restore its spreadable texture.
