Seimes, cracks on the wall of the hoof, may be superficial or deep affecting the internal structures of the hoof.

Horses with fragile or poorly maintained hooves are particularly at risk.

Remember that a healthy hoof also starts with a suitable diet:

● Biotin: promotes the growth and strength of the horn.

● Minerals (zinc, copper, calcium): essential for a good hoof structure.

● Omega-3: Contributes to hydration and horn flexibility.

Instructions for use:

For best results, apply our ointments and vegetable oils to clean and dry hooves. Regular application can be the key to effective prevention of seimes and cracks. In addition to the treatments, it is also recommended to consult regularly a marshal-ferrant for proper maintenance of the hooves.

In the case of seimes, it is crucial to use a veterinarian to assess the cause and apply appropriate treatment (corrective lock, repair resin, trim adjustment); but also check the condition of the internal structures of the hoof.
