Carr Day & Martin Vanner & Prest Stockholm Hoof Tar – 455ml

Carr & Day & Martin Vanner & Prest Stockholm Tar – 455ml

Stockholm Tar is the heavy end of the Carr & Day & Martin hoof range: a natural, thick vegetable tar that seals, waterproofs and protects damaged areas of the hoof. It goes on with a brush or a spatula rather than a dauber, because it is far thicker than a hoof oil, and CDM state it protects immediately on application.

Where the Cornucrescine products are daily dressings for the whole foot, this one is aimed at the frog, the sole and any part of the wall that has broken away. The 455ml tub is the only size CDM list, and it lasts a long time because you are spot-treating rather than painting the whole hoof.

Performance & Benefits

• Natural, thick vegetable tar that seals, waterproofs and protects damaged areas of the hoof.
• Works on the frog and sole as well as the wall, which most hoof dressings do not.
• Protects immediately on application, in CDM's own wording.
• Thick enough to stay where it is put on a wet or muddy day.
• Traditional Vanner & Prest formulation, applied with a brush or spatula.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies with chipped, broken or thin-walled feet.
• Frogs and soles that need sealing against wet, muddy ground.
• Winter turnout and horses standing in damp bedding.
• Remedial and farriery work where a specific area needs covering.
• Not a daily cosmetic dressing — for an everyday shine the Vanner & Prest Hoof Oil is the one to reach for.

How to Use

• Pick the foot out and brush it clean, and let it dry before you start.
• Apply directly with a brush or spatula to the area of the hoof that needs it.
• It protects immediately; re-apply as required.
• Tar is black and sticky — keep it clear of rugs, bandages and clothing.
