“Mesquite” was destined for the rainbow bridge.....

The vet predicted that he had a broken coffin bone and recommended surgery. His feet were very hard and dry, and it was difficult to really tell what the problem was upon first inspection.
 

Ever MoistTM was applied as a soak over night. The next morning we were able to remove enough bar and sole to reveal a mesquite thorn embedded perpendicular into his hoof at the apex of the frog, penetrating his coffin bone. The bar of the hoof had grown over the thorn so it was not evident from initial superficial inspection.

The thorn was removed and Ever MoistTM was reapplied and he was turned out. He has been fine ever since with no recurring lameness! His post trims show evidence of a normal hoof!

Hoof after Ever Moist soak. Enough bar was able to be removed to show the mesquite thorn and be able to pull it out.  See small hole just below apex of frog.

Our domestic horses require us to take care of
what they do on their own in the wild.

Since most horses today do not wade into ponds and streams to drink,
their hooves do not get the moisture they need on a regular basis
Ever MoistTM used regularly will add

NATURAL moisture to your horse’s hooves.

Ever MoistTM will not make a hoof too moist.
It is also good for any problems you may find upon examining and trimming,
i.e.; thrush, white line separation, deteriorating frog, etc.
 

By spraying the hoof prior to trimming:
Ever MoistTM will penetrate through debris and exfoliate dead sole
so that it is easy to remove, resulting in an easier trim.
