NAF Hoof Care & Hoof Supplements

NAF hoof care splits into two jobs: feed supplements that support the new horn growing down from the coronet band, and topical oils, dressings and moisturisers that look after the hoof your horse already has. Supplements are the slow route — new horn takes months to reach the ground — while a hoof oil or moisturiser helps manage moisture balance day to day. Owners of genuinely poor-footed horses usually run both together. This collection holds 10 NAF hoof products, starting at £6.70.

In a hurry?

Supplement or topical — which actually changes the hoof?

Only the supplement can influence horn that has not grown yet. Biotin and the other nutrients in a hoof supplement are fed daily and travel to the coronet band, where new hoof wall forms. Anything you brush on works on horn that is already there — it helps manage how much moisture that horn holds, so it can look and behave better, but it cannot rebuild the wall from the inside.

How long before I see a difference?

Hoof wall grows down roughly 6–9mm a month, and it has to travel from coronet to ground before you are judging entirely new horn. That is why hoof supplements are usually fed for six months or more before you draw conclusions. Take a photo on day one; it is far more honest than memory.

Do I need both at once?

For a horse with poor feet, yes — a daily supplement for the long game and a topical for the here and now. For a horse with sound, tidy feet, an everyday hoof oil such as Naf Hoof Oil at £6.70 is often all that is called for.

Powder, pellets or liquid — does the format matter?

Nutritionally the decision is mostly about whether the horse eats it. Powder mixes into a damp feed and is the usual default; NAF Five Star Pro Feet Powder comes as a 2.6kg tub at £58.18. Pellets suit horses who nose powder to the bottom of the bucket — Naf Five Star Pro Feet Pellets is £30.20 for 3kg. Liquid is easiest where the hard feed is tiny or mostly chaff, and NAF Five Star Pro Feet Liquid is £30.20 for 1 Litre. If cost per day is the deciding factor, NAF Biotin Plus in the 2kg refill at £12.29 is the least expensive per kilo in this collection.

Can I feed two hoof supplements together?

Check the labels before you do. Stacking two products that both contain biotin can quietly double the intake, and a horse on a fortified balancer may already be getting a useful amount. If you are unsure, your vet or an equine nutritionist can look at the whole ration rather than one tub at a time.

What about a laminitis-prone horse?

Laminitis is a veterinary matter first and a shopping matter a distant second. NAF Five Star Laminaze, £30.20 for 750g or £100.55 for 3kg, is fed as part of a wider management approach — weight control, restricted grazing, correct farriery and your vet's advice. It supports a horse who is managed properly; it does not replace that management, and no supplement treats or cures laminitis. If your horse is footsore, lying down more than usual or rocking back onto the heels, call your vet the same day.

How do I pick between the hoof oils, dressings and solutions?

Start with what the foot is doing wrong. Hooves that are dry, hard and starting to crack after a run of dry weather generally want moisture holding in — NAF Pro Feet Hoof Moist, 900gm at £16.07, comes in Natural and Black. Feet that are soft and squelchy after weeks of wet turnout want the opposite, which is where NAF Pro Feet Rock Hard, 250ml at £24.55, comes in.

Solution or dressing?

Naf Five Star Profeet Farrier Solution is a 500ml liquid at £14.50, so it goes on quickly and thinly. Naf Five Star Profeet Farrier Dressing is a 900gm tub at £16.16 — thicker, so it stays where you put it and lasts longer between applications. Neither is a substitute for regular trimming or shoeing; your farrier's timetable does more for hoof shape than any tub.

Where does plain hoof oil fit?

Naf Hoof Oil at £6.70 for 500ml is the everyday brush-on for turnout, shows and general tidiness. It is the cheapest item here and the easiest place to start if you are simply building a grooming kit.
