Cleaning the Velcro on Old Mac Multipurpose and Easycare Hoof Boots

The UK wholesaler for Easycare hoof boots, Trelawne Equine has a very useful post on their blog today regarding the cleaning of the velcro or hook and loop fastenings on their hoof boots....
Have you ever come back from a ride, removed your Old Macs Multipurpose Hoof boots, Old Mac G2's or any of the gaitered Easycare boots such as the Easyboot Epic or Easyboot Glove and wondered how to clean the Velcro? The warehouse personnel at Easycare have come up with a great little trick- using a simple dog/ cat brush (their own Velcro Cleaner) on the Velcro to remove grass, hair and whatever else is stuck. They use it on both the hook and loop sides of the Velcro, it will also rejuvenate loop side if is has lost its 'stick'. We at Trelawne Equine think this is a brilliant idea, and will help ensure your boots last even longer and perform as well as they did the first day you use them!

Keratex mud fever powder

I discovered another very good use for Keratex mud fever powder over the last few weeks, as a disinfectant 'talc' for inside hoof boots! If like me, you have a horse or pony that has a problem severe enough to necessitate the use of boots over an extended period, there is a chance of bacteria and damp within the foot. A sprinkling of this every morning inside my Shetlands Easyboot Epic Hoof Boots with soft comfort pads has kept her soles looking clean and thrush free!
