Product Information
Full details
Red Horse Products Sole Paint is designed for horse owners seeking to improve and maintain the health of their horse's hooves. It thoroughly cleanses the underside of the foot, toughens the hoof, and supports healthy frog tissue growth. While effective, its thick consistency, though beneficial for coverage, may require careful application to ensure full penetration into deeper grooves. Key features include powerful active ingredients, a thick, paintable liquid for convenience, disinfectant properties, and long-lasting effects.

FAQs
How often should I apply Red Horse Products Sole Paint?
Application frequency depends on the specific hoof condition and veterinary advice. For general maintenance, it may be applied a few times a week, while for specific issues, a farrier or vet will provide a tailored schedule.
Can this product be used on all horses?
Yes, it is suitable for use on horses requiring hoof support and cleansing. Always monitor your horse for any adverse reactions.
What is the main benefit of the thick consistency?
The thick consistency allows for better adherence to the hoof and ensures the active ingredients penetrate effectively into the deeper grooves of the foot.
Does Sole Paint help with thrush?
Sole Paint has powerful disinfectant properties that can help manage conditions like thrush, especially when combined with good stable hygiene.
How long does a 500ml bottle typically last?
Usage depends on the frequency of application and the area treated. For regular use on one horse, a 500ml bottle can last for a significant period.
Is it safe to use if my horse is sensitive?
While generally safe, it is always advisable to test a small area first or consult with your veterinarian if your horse has known sensitivities.
Troubleshooting
Product is too thick to apply easily
Ensure the product is stored at an appropriate temperature. If slightly cool, warm the container gently in warm water. Avoid overheating.
Staining on non-hoof surfaces
Protect surrounding areas during application. Clean any spills immediately with appropriate cleaning agents.
No noticeable improvement after several applications
