Product Review: Kevin Bacon’s Horse Care
There’s a revolutionary new brand of hoof care on the shelves in U.S. and Canada just in time for summer.
For the first time in North America, Kevin Bacon’s Hoof Care is now available. Heels Down was lucky to get our hands on a number of hoof products from the brand this spring, and we’ve quickly been turned into believers.
Kevin Bacon’s Hoof Care is a popular product in Europe known for its effective care without harsh ingredients.
Made with 100% all-natural components, this range of products helps keep horse hooves sound and healthy. They are designed to keep the hoof wall from drying out, protecting the whole hoof from dampness and thrush, and activates horn growth. These products are trusted by Olympic riders from John Whitaker to Andrew Nicholson, and grooms and farriers from around the world.
We put three Kevin Bacon’s Hoof Care products to the test. But first, we just thought we’d explain… This isn’t the Footloose and fancy-free actor Kevin Bacon you’re envisioning right now (though, we hear he too enjoys the farm life). These hoof care products are named after the Australian Show Jumper Kevin Bacon, who has fully given these hoof care items his stamp of approval.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s dig in.
Kevin Bacon’s Frog Shield
This all-natural solution delivers rapid results to maintain a healthy frog. Using silver particles, it’s ideal for soft, sensitive or thin frogs and soles, and regular (once a week) application helps build stronger sole, prevents and treats white line. It acts a balm over the frog. We found that a little goes a long way in making true changes to the hoof.
Kevin Bacon’s Original Hoof Dressing
Kevin Bacon’s Hoof Care has been making this dressing recipe for 35 years. Clearly they’re onto something. With just a couple applications per week, this dressing will help protect and moisturize hoof walls, sole and frogs. The product is quite greasy, and the application is long lasting.
Kevin Bacon’s The Green Hoof Dressing
This is the ultimate moisturizing product I’ve ever used on horse hooves. The Green Hoof Dressing is made of all-natural vegetable ingredients. It’s a great option for horses with dry hooves, prone to hoof cracks or fragile horns. Apply with a brush and the product acts as a long lasting salve. This product was formulated specifically for horses living in challenging conditions, like excessively dry landscapes or those with delicate feet.
