Wool Benefits

Wool pads are a natural and versatile option for hoof care, offering excellent breathability, moisture-wicking, and cushioning. They are particularly beneficial when used inside hoof boots and for addressing minor hoof issues during rehabilitation. 

Key Benefits of Wool Hoof Pads

Natural and Sustainable: Made from 100% sheep wool, they are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and reusable.

Moisture Management: Wool is naturally hygroscopic, meaning it wicks sweat and moisture away from the hoof, which helps keep the sole and frog dry and can reduce the risk of issues like thrush that can occur with prolonged boot use in damp conditions.

Antibacterial Properties: The natural lanolin and properties of the wool resist the build-up of bacteria and odours.

Cushioning & Support:
Wool felt is resilient and provides a soft, cushioned base that moulds to the unique shape of the frog and sole, offering comfort and support and distributing pressure evenly.

Versatile Use: They can be used for general comfort in hoof boots, for protection when transitioning a horse to barefoot, or as part of a healing/drawing poultice for an infected hoof.

Easy Maintenance: Wool pads are washable and durable; they can be hand-washed in warm, soapy water and air-dried flat for reuse.
Considerations

Usage: They are primarily designed for use inside hoof boots rather than being permanently applied with a shoe.

Infection: If used with a poultice to treat an infection, the pad should be disposed of after use to prevent recontamination.

Fit: It is important to trim the pads to fit snugly inside the boot to prevent them from bunching up or moving around, which could cause discomfort. 

Wool hoof pads are a highly effective, natural choice, especially for owners who use hoof boots regularly. Their unique properties help maintain a healthy hoof environment and provide excellent comfort and protection
