Natural Equine Care: The 4 Essential Ozone Products
Share
Introduction
Your horse's health depends on active prevention and appropriate care. Foot and skin conditions—thrush, mud fever, wounds, infections—can be effectively prevented or treated with four natural ozone-based products. Here are their roles, indications, and how to combine them.
Why Ozone?
Ozone (O₃) is a natural oxidant with antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Unlike chemical antiseptics, it does not create bacterial resistance and naturally transforms into oxygen after acting. To learn more, consult our article on how ozone works.
The 4 Essential Products
1. OZONE HOOF CARE — Daily Maintenance
OZONE HOOF CARE is the basic treatment for regular sole and frog maintenance. It strengthens the horn, creates a protective barrier, and prevents softening in wet conditions thanks to chestnut tannins.
Indications: preventive maintenance, after trimming, turnout on muddy ground.
Frequency: 2-3 times/week.
Area: sole and frog.
2. OZONE HOOF TREATMENT — Pedal Infections
OZONE HOOF TREATMENT comes into play as soon as the sulci or frogs show signs of weakness. It eliminates anaerobic bacteria responsible for thrush and promotes the regeneration of a healthy frog. For detailed protocols, consult our article on ozone hoof care.
Indications: soft or rotten frog, pedal infections, after abscess drainage.
Frequency: 2-3 times/week for prevention, daily for treatment.
Area: sole and frog.
3. OZONE MUD FEVER TREATMENT — Mud Fever and Wet Areas
OZONE MUD FEVER TREATMENT is specialized for dermatophilosis and moisture-related conditions. It disinfects, soothes, heals, and creates a protective barrier against mud. To learn more, consult our guide on horse mud fever.
Indications: mud fever, pastern cracks, irritated pasterns, weakened coronet bands.
Frequency: 2-3 times/week for prevention, 1-2 times/day for treatment.
Area: pasterns, heels, coronet bands.
4. OZONE INTENSIVE CARE — Emergencies and Wounds
