Premo Equine Hoof Butter is an all natural hoof protectant, conditioner, and strengthener.
Use regularly for routine maintenance; use especially when hooves:
-
are dry, brittle, or cracking;
-
have nail holes;
-
are exposed to excessively wet or muddy conditions.
Premo Equine helps keep moisture levels even.
​
1. Using a rag or brush, apply to horse hooves that are dry and free of debris.
2. Let sit on the hoof wall for a few minutes.
3. Using a paper towel or rag, buff the hoof wall, removing any excess product before exposing hooves to any water, shavings, or dirt.
Hooves will continue to be shiny and slick even the next day.
Use as a treatment 2-5 times per week.
Only the Finest Ingredients
Essential Oils
Organic essential oils promote healing. The oils also destroy bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens that can penetrate and compromise a hoof wall.
​
MCT from Coconut, Cocos nucifera
MCT is composed of medium-chain triglycerides / fatty acids. Lauric acid (making up 50% of MCT) is anti-fungal and inhibits the growth of harmful pathogens. This acid is also found in human and bovine colostrum. Caprylic/capric triglycerides, vitamin C, and vitamin E moisturizes keratinised cells while maintaining cell strength.
Beeswax
Pure and natural beeswax is used as a breathable protective layer for the hoof, keeping out excess moisture from rainy or muddy conditions. Beeswax also has strong antiseptic, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties.
A blend of Castor Oil, Ricinus communis, expeller-pressed and Carrot
Castor oil strengthens the hoof horn, preventing brittleness and cracking. The oil also stimulates blood flow, improves circulation, promotes healing, and reduce inflammation to the internal structure of the hoof.

You may ask, “Why don’t wild horses have hoof problems? Why do I need hoof protection if I don’t have any hoof problems now?” The simple answers is in domestication of the horse. The periople is a natural protein protective covering that is produced on the hoof wall that protects against harmful contaminants. Thus the hoof actually has its own natural, delicate hoof sealant.
This natural sealant serves wild horses well, but it is usually lost in a domestic environment. It is inadvertently removed during the shoeing process when the hoof is trimmed, balanced, leveled and shod. To compound the problem further, the domestic horse can no longer roam free over miles of open space but is confined to smaller pastures, paddocks and stalls.
Now, with little or no natural sealant left and with the horn tubules opened from nail holes and rasping, hooves are exposed to higher concentrations of destructive uric acid and other contaminants. With the protective outer covering removed, the introduction of these agents into the hoof wall can lead to breakdown of its protein, keratin. It is important to remember that because the hoof is protein, it is potentially biodegradable. Domesticated horses need a hoof conditioner that effectively replaces the periople.
​Tiny openings on the hoof wall, from cracks and nail holes, are the main pathways for infection from bacteria, fungus or other contaminants.
