Warum ich Hornpads entwickelt habe
Seit über 35 Jahren arbeite ich täglich an Pferdehufen.
Gemeinsam mit meinem Team habe ich in dieser Zeit
mehr als 1.000.000 Hufe bearbeitet und dabei viele
unterschiedliche Formen von tiefen Strahlfurchen,
Strahlrissen, Hohlräumen und
Fäulnisbefall kennengelernt.
Hornpads habe ich entwickelt, um genau solche
schwer zugänglichen Problemstellen zuverlässig zu
versorgen.
Seit vielen Jahren setze ich sie im Rahmen meiner
täglichen Hufpflege ein, wenn eine oberflächliche Pflege
allein nicht ausreicht.
Description
Care product for targeted care of deep frog areas in horses
HOOFGOLD Hornpads were developed by hoof expert Olaf Optenplatz based on his more than 35 years of hoof-care experience. Together with his team, he has worked on more than 1,000,000 hooves. In his daily hoof-care practice, he uses Hornpads particularly where deep frog grooves, frog cracks, cavities, rotten frog, soft horn or damaged hoof horn make targeted care difficult.
The Hornpads are inserted directly into frog grooves, cracks or cavities, enabling targeted care even in hard-to-reach areas of the hoof.
Especially in cases of deep thrush, superficial care measures are often insufficient based on experience from hoof-care practice. When decay, foul odor, soft horn or deep cracks have developed in the frog area, care should be applied as much as possible directly to the affected area. HOOFGOLD Hornpads were developed precisely for this application and have been used by Olaf Optenplatz for many years as part of his daily hoof care.
HOOFGOLD Hornpads are particularly suitable for care in cases of:
- thrush in horses
- deep thrush
- deep frog cracks
- holes in the hoof or frog area
- rotten frog
- foul odor in the hoof
- soft or damaged horn
- horn rot and decay in the frog area
- wetness, mud and damp stable conditions
- frog grooves, cracks and cavities in the horse's hoof
Targeted care of deeply located problem areas
The impregnated Hornpads are inserted directly into cracks, holes or the frog groove. This allows care to be applied directly to the affected area. Based on Olaf Optenplatz's experience, the Hornpads support hoof hygiene, the care of damaged horn areas and natural horn function as part of regular hoof care.
D-Seal / Anti-Doping Tested
HOOFGOLD Hornpads bear the recognized D-Seal. This means that the product has been tested for substances relevant to doping regulations and is ADMR-compliant. The Hornpads are 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.
