Horse Hoof Care
Products I've used for years to treat abcess, tender and thin soles, cracking and chipping, trimming, and basic hoof care. Some of these are reposts from my emergency list.
I used this boot on my thoroughbred that had very thin soles and issues walking on gravel. 13 years later I still have the same ones. They are easy to clean, easy to put a cushion in and temporarily use on sore horses, and nice to just use as an over...
Easyboot Trail Original Horse Boot
I keep this on hand for sore horses. Sole bruising, thrush sensitivities, post abcess care, laminitis related lameness, etc. There are so many uses for this to give your horse a softer support when they are lame. Its been extremely easy to work with ...
ABSORBINE Hooflex Magic Cushion
If you buy a big bag you are set for years. I use this to soak hooves to draw out abcess and infection or just get a clean out before a thrush treatment!
Equate Epsom Salt Unscented
I have stopped using duck tape. The brand is thin compared to gorilla tape and the adhesive is nothing like it use to be. Gorilla tape has adhesive strong enough to dress my horses hooves for abcess. I typically buy small rolls because they are easie...
Gorilla Black Duct Tape 10 yd
Good for soaking really thrushy feet before a treatment!
Betasept
Good for scrubbing out dirt in hoof cracks and soles. Just makes my life easier bc my hoof pick has plastic bristles that never stay the shape they need to.
Shoehandle Steel Wire Brush
Affordable Stable Supplies
Bedding for horse stalls, goats chicken coop, and litter pans.
I use this for everything. NOTE one bag can be "fluffed or depelletized" by dumping it into a wheel barrow and filling it with water. This turns into a very fine sawdust bedding. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR ANIMAL DOESN'T WANT TO EAT THIS PRODUCT BEFORE YO...
Pelletized Bedding 40 lb.
This one goes through my durafork the easiest and soaks up more compared to the medium flake. I combine this with a bag of the pelletized bedding in my horse stalls. It the finer the shaving the faster it breaks down in the compost pile and the bet...
Fine Premium Pine Shavings, 5.5 cu.ft.
Good for covering ground after processing chickens, filling holes in bar stall floors when you don't want to order a truck load, sprinkling it in stalls to control odors and flies.
Barn Lime Fertilizer Enhancer, 50 lb.
CHICKENS : add to their dust bath, sprinkle in and around the coop. Controls chicken lice and other small insects.
FEED MITES : If you empty your feed into the bin 1.) Use a wet cloth wipe the rim of your feed bin and sprinkle this on the edge. 2.)...
Red Lake Earth Diatomaceous Earth with Calcium Bentonite for Livestock, 4 lb.
Amazing and cute little tool for the kids! The bucket helps them keep the balls in the fork when learning how to clean stalls or just help out.
Little Giant 42 in. DuraPitch I 7.5 x 11.5 x 50.5in.,Red
Fly & Pest Control
Products I don't mind spending money on for pest control because THEY WORK!
The BLUE bottle gets rid of ticks. If you are in the south or buy a horse from the south there is a good chance they have ticks. I didn't know these horses well enough to go picking them off. I spray the tick spots with this and the ticks usually fal...
Pyranha Equine Spray and Wipe Horse Fly Repellent BLUE
I dilute this (not by much) into a gallon sprayer and spray my barn walls, tack rooms, and the aisle ways. It keeps the flies down and the stench low. NOTE : be careful to not spray areas where water or feed are given. Do not spray their feed or hay ...
Pine-Sol Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner, Original, 40 Fluid Ounces
I grate this into medium fine shavings and sprinkle them around my tack room floors to keep mice away. It smells amazing and eventually the shavings dry out and sweep up or vacuum nicely.
Irish Spring Original Bar Soap for Men, (4 Pack)
Good one to use on the face and ears. Easy to pack on a trail ride.
Farnam Endure Roll-On Horse Fly Repellent, 3 oz.
Doesn't leave my horses greasy
Farnam Endure Sweat-Resistant Fly Spray for Horses, 1 qt.
I use this specific jar trap because I can reuse it. The taller one doesn't allow for as many to be caught. It holds a lot of flies and it's absolutely horrible smelling to dump it out. I just dump it on the trees or the compost pile. But if you can ...
Rescue Fly Trap with Attractant
If you can't stomach emptying the reusable Trap I have posted then this is a better option for you. Easy to use and set up. I hang it with hay twine, and throw it in the dumpster when it's full.
You can keep the top plastic part and use it by tapin...

Trap refill packet. I change my traps out every two weeks unless they really fill up.
Rescue Fly Trap Reusable Refill Attractant, 1 pk.
