Strahlfaule HilfeKombi Set 2

Care system for supportive care of thrush and dry, brittle hooves

The HOOFGOLD Strahlfäule HilfeKombi Set 2 is a coordinated hoof-care set for supportive care of thrush and for caring for dry, cracked, and brittle hooves. The set combines HOOFGOLD BlueStuff Strahlpflege with HOOFGOLD Hufbalsam Spezial, including a brush. The product selection is based on Olaf Optenplatz's practical experience from more than 35 years of hoof-care practice and over 1,000,000 hoof trimmings.

BlueStuff is applied specifically to the frog area when the frog smells rotten, becomes soft, or is affected by moisture, mud, and bacterial exposure. Hufbalsam Spezial complements this care through intensive hoof care, hoof protection, and care of the hoof horn.

A care system for frog care & hoof care

This set combines two important areas of daily hoof care:

• BlueStuff for targeted frog care in cases of thrush
• Hufbalsam Spezial for caring for dry, cracked, and brittle hooves
• Brush for easy and clean application

If your horse shows signs of thrush, such as a rotten frog, unpleasant odor, soft horn, dark areas in the frog region, or sensitive hoof areas, consistent hoof care is especially important. The HilfeKombi Set supports care of the frog area exactly where thrush can occur, while also caring for the surrounding hoof horn.

BlueStuff – Frog care for thrush

HOOFGOLD BlueStuff is a frog-care product for targeted application to care for the frog area in cases of thrush, a rotten frog, unpleasant odor, soft horn, and decay in the frog area. It is applied directly to the affected grooves and the stressed frog.

BlueStuff is particularly suitable for:

• thrush in horses
• a rotten frog
• unpleasant odor in the hoof
• soft or stressed horn
• decay in the frog area
• moisture, mud, and damp stable conditions
• supportive care for White Line Disease
• canker (only after consultation with a veterinarian or hoof-care specialist)

Hufbalsam Spezial – Care & protection for dry, brittle hooves

HOOFGOLD Hufbalsam Spezial complements care of the frog area through intensive hoof care. The hoof balm is particularly suitable for dry hooves, brittle hooves, fragile hooves, cracked hooves, brittle horn, horn cracks, and compromised hoof quality.

The hoof balm supports the natural moisture balance, cares for the hoof horn, and protects the hoof against stress caused by moisture, mud, dryness, and changing ground conditions.

Hufbalsam Spezial is particularly suitable for:

• dry hooves
• brittle hooves
• fragile hooves
• cracked hooves and hoof cracks
• brittle or stressed horn
• horn cracks
• loose hoof walls
• hoof sensitivity
• supportive care for thrush

Why the combination makes sense

With thrush, it is often not only the frog that is affected. The surrounding hoof horn is also frequently stressed by moisture, mud, bacteria, dryness, or daily strain. That is why the HilfeKombi Set combines two complementary care products:

• BlueStuff is applied specifically to the affected frog area and supports its care.
• Hufbalsam Spezial cares for and protects the surrounding hoof horn.

This creates a simple system of frog care and hoof care that can be ideally integrated into a daily hoof-care routine. The product selection and application recommendations are based on Olaf Optenplatz's practical experience from more than 35 years of hoof-care practice and over 1,000,000 hoof trimmings.

HOOFGOLD BlueStuff and HOOFGOLD Hufbalsam Spezial bear the recognized D-Siegel. This means that the products have been tested for doping-relevant substances and are ADMR-compliant. The set is therefore also suitable for horses competing in tournaments.
