Product Information
Full details
Red Horse Products Artimud is an essential hoof care solution designed for horse owners and farriers who need a reliable, long-lasting barrier against hoof environmental damage. Its primary benefit is the combination of active cleansing agents and a thick, putty-like consistency that stays securely in shallow cracks, white line crevices, and frog clefts to promote healthy tissue formation; however, it is specifically formulated for shallow gaps and may not be suitable for deep-seated infections or abscesses requiring different treatments.

FAQs
Can Artimud be used every day?
Yes, Artimud can be applied as often as necessary to maintain a protective barrier in cracks or crevices.
Is it safe for use on all horses?
Artimud is designed for external use on horse hooves and is generally safe, but you should consult your farrier or vet if the horse has sensitive skin.
Does it treat thrush?
While it cleanses the area and helps maintain healthy tissue, it is a barrier paste; specifically stubborn infections may require professional treatments.
Will it stain the horse's coat?
It is not intended for the coat, but it can be washed off with soap and water if accidental contact occurs.
Can I apply it over other hoof treatments?
It is best applied to a clean, dry surface. Check with your farrier if you are using other medicated products simultaneously.
What is the shelf life once opened?
Provided the lid is kept tightly closed and the product is kept in a cool, dry environment, it will remain effective for a significant duration.
Troubleshooting
Product falls out of the hoof gap
Ensure the area is completely dry before application. Use a paper towel to remove residual moisture first.

Keep the container in a warm area for a few hours before use to improve pliability.
Difficulty washing off residue
Use a stiff hoof brush or a cloth dampened with warm water to remove excess product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply Artimud effectively, ensure the hoof is thoroughly cleaned and dried, as moisture can prevent the putty from bonding correctly to the hoof wall. Use a hoof pick or a small spatula to pack the product into the desired area, smoothing the edges to ensure a seamless seal. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the product from drying out. Artimud is compatible with most standard metal and composite shoes but should not be used as a replacement for professional veterinary treatment if the hoof shows signs of lameness or deep infection.
