Sole Soothe 1kg

Sole Soothe 1kg is a topical hoof poultice formulated for horses using Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate), Stockholm tar, iodine and arnica. It is designed for application to the sole of the hoof as part of a horse's hoof-care routine, particularly following strenuous work or exercise on firm surfaces.

The combination of ingredients makes Sole Soothe a practical option for targeted hoof care, including situations where the sole requires attention following bruising or suspected hoof abscesses. Hoof pain, suspected abscesses and persistent lameness should always be assessed by a qualified farrier or veterinarian.

How the Ingredients Work

Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate)

Epsom salt is commonly used in traditional hoof poultice formulations. It contributes to the product's poultice action and is included for targeted hoof care.

Stockholm Tar

Stockholm tar is a traditional hoof-care ingredient used in equestrian products. It helps condition and protect the hoof surface. The exact moisture-balancing effect depends on the formulation and how the product is applied.

Iodine

Iodine is included for its antiseptic properties. However, the presence of iodine alone does not guarantee prevention or treatment of hoof infections.

Arnica

Arnica is a botanical ingredient traditionally used in topical preparations. Its inclusion should not be interpreted as proof that the finished product treats inflammation or relieves pain.

When to Use Sole Soothe

Sole Soothe may be considered as part of a hoof-care routine:

• After strenuous work or exercise.

• Following work on firm surfaces.

• When targeted care of the hoof sole is required.

• As part of a hoof-care plan recommended by a farrier or veterinarian.

• Where a poultice has been recommended for a specific hoof problem.

Important: A painful hoof, suspected abscess, deep puncture wound or persistent lameness needs appropriate assessment. Do not rely on a poultice alone to treat a serious hoof condition or delay veterinary care.

Directions for Use

According to the supplied product instructions:

1. Clean the bottom of the horse's hoof.

2. Using a wet or gloved hand, scoop out a generous amount of Sole Soothe.

3. Apply firmly to the sole, covering the intended area.

4. Cover the bottom of the hoof with suitable shavings or paper, as directed.

5. Leave in place for 12–24 hours.

6. Remove the poultice with a hoof pick before the horse returns to work.

For shod horses: The supplied instructions state that bandaging is not required.

For unshod horses: Bandaging may be necessary to hold the poultice in place and protect it.

Use suitable hoof protection and bandaging techniques. If you are treating a suspected abscess or open wound, follow the advice of your veterinarian or farrier.
