Venice Turpentine, 16 oz, brush-on can
Designed for routine hoof-care, this classic pine-resin preparation is used by farriers to help create a tougher, more resilient sole surface so horses stay comfortable on challenging footing. The brush-top lid makes barn-side application quick and tidy, and the viscous consistency stays where you put it for reliable coverage on the sole and, when advised by your hoof-care professional, the frog.
What it does:
When painted onto a clean, dry sole, Venice (also called Venetian) turpentine forms a protective, durable coating that supports hoof toughness during daily work, post-trim periods, or turnout on rocky ground. Many hoof-care programs use light, regular applications to help maintain comfort in horses that are tender-footed or transitioned to going barefoot. Consistent use should be balanced with careful monitoring of sole and frog feel; excessive stiffness can increase sensitivity, so always apply sparingly and adjust frequency based on your horse's response
Texture and handling:
The integrated brush delivers a thin, even film and reduces mess. For added staying power after painting the sole, farriers commonly press a piece of brown paper onto the treated area until set; this simple step helps keep the coating in place and limits debris pickup
Who it's for:
An everyday choice for barns managing barefoot horses, animals schooling on gravel or rocky trails, or horses that seem footsore after trims. It also fits well as a maintenance product between more intensive hoof-care measures.
Directions:
Pick out and dry the hoof thoroughly.

Using the included brush, apply a thin, even coat to the sole.

Optionally press brown paper onto the sole to help the coating stay put, then let the horse stand on a clean, dry surface until set.

Start with once daily until the desired level of hardness and comfort is achieved, then reduce to a maintenance schedule based on your farrier's guidance.

Discontinue or reduce frequency if the sole or frog becomes excessively stiff or sensitivity increases.
