Sole Pack Hoof Packing relieves dry, hard, sore hooves, while combating bacterial and fungal infections. It is extremely effective in encouraging the natural pliability of the hoof, whether you're faced with a hoof that it too soft or a hoof that is too hard. Packing your horse's hoof with Sole Pack Hoof Packing a few days prior to trimming will bring the hoof to a pliable state that will ease the trimming process. #farriershop #hooftreatment #hoof #hoofcare #solepack #hawthorne #farrier #horse #healthyhooves #hoofpacking #trimming #hooftrimming
