Before riding in snow, smear a layer of Vaseline on the inside of your horse s hoof. This will prevent ice and snow from balling up inside the hoof. Then spray a thin layer of cooking spray on the bottom of the hoof. Applying strips of tape to a barefoot will help to prevent the hoof wall from cracking and breaking away. To make a more substantial pad, wrap a rag around the hoof before applying the duck tape.
Diapers are also great for temporary hoof protection.
Again, secure the diaper with duck tape. This tip is for horse lovers who may be intimidated by horses or even afraid of the animals they love. Spend a lot of time with horses. Talking to your horse will help build friendship and trust. Give commands with a strong tone of voice.
