some TLC suggestions for soaking a hoof

Soothing A Horse & Treating A Hoof

When soaking hoofs for abcess due to laminitis, add Lavander essential oil along with Epsom Salts. A teaspoon of Lavander oil to a gallon of warm water.

Helps the horse relax, and also acts as an analgesic to help sooth pain. When I did this for my own horse, it was the first time she just kept her hoof in the water and after about 20 minutes she was almost asleep.
