Cavalor® Dry Feet makes the hoof a less hospitable home for necrotic bacteria thanks to the combination of different active ingredients. Glutaraldehyde has an astringent (drying) and hardening effect, while Benzalkonium chloride makes sure the product sticks to the hoof longer.
Thrush is a very common bacterial infection that occurs on the hoof of a horse, specifically in the region of the frog. Horses with deep clefts or narrow or contracted heels are more at risk of developing thrush. Even if you try to keep your horse’s environment as clean as possible, bacteria are always prominent. Horses often stay in a stable with manure or a wet, muddy paddock.

Cavalor® SoleMate provides natural care and prevention of sensitive hooves. The paste you put on the bottom of the horse’s feet functions as a cushion. Epsom salts combined with arnica will have a soothing effect on the frog and sole.
The use of Pine Tar in Cavalor® SoleMate will help to maintain the right moisture balance in the hoof to promote healthy hoof growth.
Cavalor® SoleMate has been specially designed for use on the frog and sole after hard work, training sessions or on the day before or during periods of major physical effort, such as competitions.
Available in a 1.6kg jar, priced at around RRP £94.00.

Cavalor PodoGuard hoof oil is a unique blend of nourishing and essential oils which penetrate deep into the hoof promoting optimal hoof condition.
The nourishing oil in Cavalor PodoGuard creates an ideal moisture balance. This will help promote better hoof growth, development and quality.
When hooves are soaked in water and mud, they will soften. The natural protective oils will then be stripped away making them more susceptible to invading organisms. Cavalor PodoGuard acts as an antibacterial barrier to keep moisture and microorganisms out.

Pre Competition - Preparing the Coat
When getting horses ready for competitions bath one or two days before a show, weather permitting.
If your horse or pony is in need of a thorough bath Cavalor Equi Wash is great for taking out all the grease and dirt, accumulated from turning out at grass.
As we have a lot of greys on the yard this season including the lightweight cob Copenhagen owned by Rowena Stevenson and the maxi cob, Correl Wood belonging to Ruth Parker it appears to be a constant round of bathing and trimming.
Correl Wood is having a great season finishing at the top of the line at BSPS Area 5 and North of England Summer shows, just missing out on his HOYS ticket when finishing second at Lincolnshire Show.

Cavalor always believe that prevention is key. As warm, moist and muddy conditions are ideal for bacteria, it is important to avoid these environments where possible.
When prevention is too late it is important that bacterial infections are dealt with as soon as possible. Make sure the leg is dry before you apply Cavalor® MudDoc, a cream that works on different levels to help heal. This cream will absorb very easily to avoid a thick creamy layer because this can exacerbate an infection.
Apply Cavalor® MudDoc at least once a day, this acts as an antibacterial and promotes the healing of the skin. Make sure you keep applying Cavalor® MudDoc until the skin is totally healed and the hair has completely grown back. If you quit too fast, the problem may come back.
Always seek advice from your vet if you are concerned about your horse’s health.
Cavalor MudDoc is priced at around £31.50 for 200ml.
