Why I developed hoof oil
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 repeatedly seen how important
proper care of dry and brittle hooves
is for healthy hoof horn.
Hoof oil was developed to support daily hoof care . For many years, I have used it to care for
dry and brittle hoof horn
and help the hoof
maintain its natural protective layer.

For many years, hoof expert Olaf Optenplatz has used hoof oil as part of his daily hoof care routine. Based on his practical experience, regular use supports the care of dry and brittle hoof horn and helps keep the hoof well-groomed and resilient.
The selected care ingredients from plant oils, pine oil, calendula, St. John's wort oil, bay laurel extract, salmon oil and eucalyptus oil were selected for the daily care of the hoof and frog. HOOFGOLD Hoof Oil is particularly suitable for horses whose hooves are visibly stressed by dryness, wetness, mud, stable conditions or daily strain.

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.
