Horses are built to stand almost all the time. Therefore, you are obligated to always keep those hooves and legs in good condition.

Remember that if you don’t take care of your horse’s hooves, you may not even be able to ride your mount. If you can’t do it on your own – find a good farrier.
Hoof care comes down to your horse’s environment. So, make sure you maintain your stable and keep your mounts foot care up to scratch.
Furthermore, scrubbing out your horse’s feet at regular intervals will remove stuck-on mud, which can act as a sponge for bacteria. As for the hoof horn, it needs to be kept supple to minimize cracking.

Use a quality hoof product that will help to waterproof your horse’s feet and stop droppings or mud sticking to them. To test for any good hoof oil, rub it into your skin to see how it feels after some minutes.
