LOOKING AFTER FEET THROUGH WINTER

Avoid leaving horses standing in wet and muddy conditions for extended periods of time. Ensure they have somewhere dry to stand for at least part of the day and consider laying hardcore in high frequency areas such as gateways and around water troughs e a l e d S t a b l e M a t t i n g , A n t i - c a s t W a l l P r o t e c t i o n , R u b b e r P a v e r s a n d T i l e s , F l e x s c r e e d S t o n e B l e n d f o r S t a b l e Y a r d s , W a l k w a y s a n d R a c e c o u r s e s

Allow feet to dry out each day. There are still huge benefits to horses being turned out in winter even in wet and muddy fields. However, do ensure that horses can be brought somewhere each day where their feet and legs can dry properly. Prolonged exposure to wet cold conditions can increase the risk of mud fever developing.

Use an iodine-based mix to dry and harden the hoof wall and sole. Other options for topical protection include barrier creams, such as Nettex Muddy Marvel Barrier Cream, to stop excessive moisture being absorbed through the sole, or tar-based products to help keep hooves dry and healthy.

Keep up to date with farrier visits and foot trims. It is tempting to allow more time between farrier visits through winter, as horse’s feet grow more slowly, and they tend to be ridden less. However regular trimming will help to maintain a well-balanced foot which is essential for coping with the varying terrain we experience in winter. Regular trimming also helps to prevent splits and cracks, which are a risk factor for abscesses.
