My experience with thrush
For over 35 years I have worked on horses’ hooves every day. Together with my team I have
worked on more than 1,000,000 hooves and encountered many different forms of thrush
during that time.
BlueStuff grew out of this practical experience, and I have used it for many years as part of my daily hoof-care work in practice.
Description
BlueStuff - Care from the Hoof Practice for Thrush
HOOFGOLD BlueStuff was developed by hoof expert Olaf Optenplatz. He has worked on horse hooves every day for over 35 years. Together with his team, he has treated more than 1,000,000 hooves during this time. The following areas of application are based on this practical experience and show the situations in which BlueStuff is used in daily hoof care.
Why targeted treatment and care are important for thrush
Early treatment of thrush and consistent hoof care can be crucial. Typical signs include foul odor, dark areas in the frog, soft or damaged horn, and sensitive areas in the hoof. These changes are often caused by moisture, mud, poor stable hygiene, or inadequate ventilation of the frog.
How BlueStuff is used in daily hoof care
BlueStuff has been used by Olaf Optenplatz in his daily hoof practice for many years. The care product penetrates deep into the frog grooves, wets the hoof horn, and forms a protective barrier there. It therefore supports regular frog care, good hoof hygiene, and the care of hooves affected by thrush, decay, unpleasant odor, and soft horn.
BlueStuff is frequently used in daily hoof care for:
- thrush in horses
- acute thrush
- rotting frogs
- unpleasant odor in the hoof
- soft or damaged horn
- horn decay in the frog area
- moisture, mud, and damp stable conditions
- regular hygiene and care in the hoof area
- supportive care for White Line Disease
- supportive care for canker in consultation with a veterinarian or hoof specialist
Why frog care is so important
The frog plays an important role in the hoof's natural blood-pumping effect. When the hoof is loaded and lifted, it supports the supply of blood and nutrients to the lower limbs. If this area is impaired by thrush or other stress factors, it can place additional strain on hoof health.
Daily hoof practice repeatedly shows that regular cleaning, good hoof hygiene, and consistent care are crucial. That is why Olaf Optenplatz has used BlueStuff for many years to care for hooves affected by thrush, decay, unpleasant odor, and soft horn.
D-Siegel / Anti-Doping Tested
HOOFGOLD BlueStuff bears the recognized D-Siegel. This means that the product has been tested for doping-relevant substances and complies with ADMR requirements. It is therefore also suitable for horses competing in equestrian sports.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Hoof problems can be unsettling because many things look similar. These questions will quickly give you guidance and help you understand how to get started sensibly.
What does Hoofgold help with?
For typical hoof problems such as thrush, brittle hooves, poor hoof quality, and difficult hoof growth. You will gain clarity, priorities, and sensible next steps.
Do I have to buy products first before I can get help?
No. Start with a brief assessment. Then you can decide which steps make sense and whether products are even necessary.
Why aren’t many tips from the internet enough?
Because similar symptoms can have different causes. If the cause isn't correctly identified, the solution will miss the mark too.
Are your products suitable for sport?
The products are tested by the D Seal and free from doping substances. This gives you peace of mind, even during everyday competition.
What if it's urgent?
If your horse is severely lame, in obvious pain, or you suspect an acute emergency, please seek immediate veterinary assistance on site. An assessment can provide additional guidance but does not replace emergency veterinary care.
Do you also ship abroad?
Yes. Delivery is possible to many countries, including the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The exact shipping costs depend on the destination country and order value.
