How do you keep your horse's hooves dry?
Who hasn't experienced it? The wet season is approaching, and horses are increasingly standing on muddy ground and in their stalls. It's difficult to keep their hooves clean and dry.
You pay attention to good bedding, muck out more often - and still see signs of thrush?
Do you always have a bad feeling about chemical products?
Have you tried everything possible? From less chemicals to more chemicals, simply because something has to work. Clogged spray heads and a guilty conscience, because you already know that chemicals, no matter where you apply them, affect the horse's entire system. A guilty conscience, too, because chemicals can negatively impact the horse's immune system and self-regulatory powers.
Can. "It's not proven," you hear someone say.
And then you have to take a stand.
At STEINKRAFT, we've chosen the power of nature. And to combat thrush, we rely on finely powdered zeolite with tea tree oil. Naturally, of course.
Aside from the fact that it makes you feel good about choosing something natural, we also see and hear that zeolite hoof powder is easier to apply than many other thrush products. And what's more, it's something that works.
When we at STEINKRAFT say that, you might say, "Of course. You're the producers!"
But if horse professionals say that, well, hello.
Heike Kemmer was introduced to our HORSEKRAFT products at the stallion licensing in Verden (we were allowed to display our products at the entrance). She tried the hoof powder and was thrilled, and she has very clear words:
" HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Hoof Powder is the most effective product to date against thrush or overly moist hooves!
The hoof powder significantly reduces the initial sensitivity, forms a protective film over the sole, and keeps the frog dry and clean. A clear improvement occurs very quickly, which, with regular use, leads to healthy hooves.
Used preventively, HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Hoof Powder completely prevents the development of thrush. It's also easy to use, and the powder form allows it to penetrate every nook and cranny of the hoof.
Prevention of thrush with zeolite hoof powder

The zeolite hoof powder is very fine – 7 microns – and can work well in all cracks.
Why zeolite hoof powder?
Zeolite has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and absorbs harmful substances in the hoof. The finer the powder, meaning the larger the surface area, the faster and more effective the hoof powder is. And the better it adheres to the hoof.
Question: Can regular zeolite also be used for hooves?
The hoof powder must be very fine so that it can penetrate every nook and cranny and adhere well. The zeolite hoof powder is more finely ground than the HORSEKRAFT zeolite. We also added tea tree oil because we like this combination and it further enhances the effect of pure zeolite.
