Versatile Hoof Poultice for Horses

This versatility makes it a practical addition to equine hoof-care supplies.
However, suspected hoof abscesses, significant lameness, puncture wounds or persistent pain should always be assessed by a veterinary surgeon.
Hot Hoof Poultice
A hot hoof poultice is prepared using previously boiled water that has been allowed to cool to a safe, comfortably warm temperature.
Directions for Hot Application
- Boil clean water and allow it to cool until comfortably warm to the hand.
- Place the NAF NaturalintX Hoof Poultice into the water.
- Allow the dressing to become fully saturated.
- Remove the poultice and gently squeeze out excess water.
- Check the temperature carefully against your own skin.
- Position the dressing over the affected hoof area with the plastic backing facing away from the skin.
- Secure carefully using NAF NaturalintX Wrap or an appropriate bandage.
Important: Never apply a poultice that feels excessively hot. Incorrect temperatures can cause injury to the horse.
Cold Hoof Poultice
NAF NaturalintX Hoof Poultice can also be prepared using cold water.
Cold application may be recommended in appropriate hoof-care situations following veterinary assessment.
Directions for Cold Application
- Boil clean water and allow it to cool completely.
- Soak the hoof poultice in the cooled water.
- Remove the dressing and gently squeeze out excess water.
- If additional chilling is required, place the poultice inside its outer plastic bag and refrigerate.
- Check the temperature against your own skin before application.
- Apply to the affected hoof area with the plastic backing away from the skin.
- Secure carefully using NAF NaturalintX Wrap or an appropriate bandage.
Do not apply excessively cold material directly to sensitive skin.
Dry Hoof Poultice
For situations requiring a dry dressing, NAF NaturalintX Hoof Poultice can be applied without soaking.
Directions for Dry Application
- Ensure the affected hoof area has been appropriately cleaned.
- Remove the hoof poultice from its packaging.
- Position the dressing directly over the required area.
- Ensure the plastic backing faces away from the skin.
- Secure using NAF NaturalintX Wrap or an appropriate bandage.
- Check that the dressing is secure without being excessively tight.
Comfortable Hoof Protection
NAF NaturalintX Hoof Poultice is designed to conform to the shape of the horse’s hoof.
Its flexible construction helps make application straightforward while providing a protective covering over the required area.
The dressing can be held securely in position using a suitable hoof wrap.
Correct bandaging technique is essential because excessively tight bandages can restrict circulation and cause serious injury.

Using NAF NaturalintX Wrap
NAF recommends securing the hoof poultice with NaturalintX Wrap.

Monitor the horse for discomfort, swelling or changes in movement while the dressing is in place.
