Cavalor PodoSens is a unique blend of essential oils that provides quick relief to sensitive hooves and promotes hoof elasticity. It also supports optimum hoof growth.
From a distance, hooves often appear hard and lifeless due to their hard external layer of horn, but underneath lies the dermis layer which is quite sensitive with many nerve endings and blood vessels located here. A horse with hoof problems will have irregular gaits, avoid hard surfaces and in more serious cases will even lie down more often to avoid putting weight on the hooves. A frequent cause for sensitive hooves is an inflamed reaction after overloading or riding on uncomfortable surfaces. Older horses often have naturally sensitive hooves or a thinner hoof sole which causes them to experience pain more quickly. The horse can seem like it'ts walking on eggshells after a visit from the farrier.
Another common cause for sensitive hooves is laminitis. This condition is often the result of metabolic disorders. A build-up of toxins will cause inflammation to the lamellae which connect the hoof wall and the dermis. It is an extremely painful disease that requires a holistic approach in treatment. In these circumstances or where laminitics signs are present Cavalor LaminAid is recommended.
