Treating a rotten fork naturally
Share
A fork that's always wet despite good feet
At the CSIO in La Baule, a rider agreed to use our products to share her experience: although her mare had good hooves, her frogs were constantly too moist, with the horn sometimes becoming brittle. She had already tried several products available on the market, often effective in the short term, but never able to stabilize the condition of the frogs over time. As soon as she stopped using the products, the frogs became soft, smelly, and sensitive again.
A test with Ozone Super Guard: first results from the 2nd day
After our conversation at booth 067, this rider tested our Ozone Super Guard saturated ozonated oil, applying it for 3 consecutive days. The change was rapid:
- From the second day onwards, a clear improvement was visible.
- By the third day , the fork had regained a beautiful appearance and a firm texture.
She then decided to space out the applications (one every three days), then just one application the following week. Despite the spacing, the effect persisted. Unlike other products that only provided temporary drying, Ozone Super Guard truly cleansed the hooves, deep down.
A precise and economical application
Thanks to its fine tip, the oil can be applied to the deeper areas of the frog, not just the surface. Its oily texture ensures good adhesion without dripping, even on a wet area. A small amount is needed for each application, making the 100ml size particularly economical.
"I used very little product, and I still have three-quarters of it left."
Why the Ozone Super Guard rather than the Hoof Guard?
In most cases of thrush, we recommend the use of Ozo ne Hoof Guard, specifically formulated for regular hoof care and cleaning of cavities thanks to its fine tip.
But here, the situation was unusual: this rider was experiencing frequent and persistent relapses, despite regular treatment. The frog remained soft, foul-smelling, and failed to return to a stable state.
This is why we preferred to recommend an initial phase with Ozone Super Guard, our most concentrated ozone formula, usually used as a first-line treatment for wounds or deep infections. It allows for more intense and rapid cleansing, particularly when pathogenic flora is well established.
This choice proved to be relevant: in just a few days, the results were visible and lasting.
An effective supplement: Hoof Fluid to strengthen the sole
In parallel, she applied the Ho of Fluid twice a week on the sole, then once a week after stopping Ozone Super Guard. Result:
- A healthier and more robust sole from the first week
- The results are maintained even after treatment has stopped.
The combination of the two products therefore made it possible not only to sanitize, but also to sustainably stabilize the condition of the feet.
A long-lasting, natural solution against thrush
This testimonial perfectly illustrates the benefits of combining a deep-cleaning action (Ozone Super Guard) with a sole-strengthening action (Hoof Fluid). For chronically wet or rot-prone frogs, this protocol can be a natural, effective, and long-lasting alternative.
Coming up next: other uses of Ozone Super Guard
The user is already planning to test Ozone Super Guard for other uses, such as wound healing or chapped skin . We will of course share the results!
