Recommended by the 'Barefoot Lady', I am now applying 'artimud' and 'hoof-stuff' - to 'Mr F's feet to improve their condition.
I will one day remember to actually take photographs so one can see if progress has been made.
My first experience with the above products is that it does indeed stay in the cracks and crevices and protects them from mud entering. The mud just lays on top. It has to be replaced regularily, the directions on the tubs and website are detailed and easy to follow.
Overall improvements are already noticeable:
'Mr F' moves much better and is less stiff with his back leg. This may also be partly due to him slowly building up his muscles as he is being ridden every other day in the fields as part of his rehab program.
Improvements in 'Mr F's movement were particularly noticeable straight after the 'Barefoot Lady' trimmed his hooves for the first time. His hooves are very flared and they clearly hadn't been trimmed for some time.
So far so good.
