Description
Absorbine Hooflex Magic Cushion Xtreme Hoof Packing
Absorbine Hooflex Magic Cushion Xtreme is a concentrated hoof packing that is worked into the sole of the hoof to help relieve sole bruising, post-trimming soreness and the symptoms of hoof concussion and trauma. It is best for performance horses and hard-working hooves, and can be used as needed or packed under a shoe and pad by your farrier and left in place throughout the shoeing cycle.
The Xtreme formula carries a higher concentration of ingredients than the original Magic Cushion, so it is the option to reach for when you want faster, stronger relief. Alongside sole support, it helps to reduce pain and swelling in the hoof, helps fight bacterial and fungal infections in the hoof, assists with the treatment of abscesses and helps reduce unwanted heat in and around the hoof structure.
