Horse care starts with grooming
Grooming cleans the coat and has you run your hand over every part. It is the best moment to check the legs, the back and the girth area. Rubber or aluminium curry combs, the Wurzle rice-straw brush, soft brushes from T de T and HKM, mane combs: all the grooming kit fits in a BR box, ideally one per horse.
Feet, every day
A foot should be picked out before and after work, from heel to toe, clearing the grooves of the frog well. Nutri Pied and Forti Pied hoof oils are applied with a brush to a clean, dry hoof. Cade oil and Stockholm tar are traditionally used on the frog and the sole. To protect a foot after a visit from the farrier or the vet, the Privilège hoof care boot and the Waldhausen dressing protector are in the hoof care.
Clean coat and minor injuries
Horse shampoo and detangler are used before a competition or in spring, when the coat changes. Clay is applied as a poultice on the legs after hard work: green clay powder is mixed with water, Hydra Marine paste is used as it is, and yellow clay comes in 5 and 7.5 kg. HKM cooling gel, Privilège Naturalix compresses, balms and creams complete the care products. In summer, keep the 3-litre Sellerie de Marigny fly repellent and the Zecche and Insetti roll-ons close at hand.
When to call the vet
The products in this range are for upkeep and minor everyday care. A deep or bleeding wound, a runny eye, lameness, a fever or a horse that stops eating call for the vet's advice before applying anything at all. Write their number in the grooming box: the day you need it, you will not waste time looking for it.
