Kevin Bacon’s Natural Hoof Dressing / Conditioner
When you’re working horses in New Zealand, you quickly realise the conditions are anything but consistent. Weeks of rain can leave hooves soft and waterlogged, while dry spells harden the ground and pull moisture straight out of the foot. That constant cycle is where Kevin Bacon’s Natural Hoof Dressing proves its worth day in, day out.
This isn’t just another hoof conditioner. It’s a true conditioning hoof dressing designed to regulate moisture balance, helping hooves stay strong, supple, and resilient through every season. Whether your horses are in wet paddocks, on abrasive tracks, or doing roadwork, maintaining the right moisture balance is everything.
- In wet conditions, it forms a breathable barrier to help prevent hooves from becoming oversaturated and soft
- In dry conditions, it locks in essential moisture to reduce brittleness and cracking
- Supports year-round hoof balance, keeping feet elastic and able to handle workload
With over 30 years of traditional manufacturing, this dressing has earned its reputation worldwide by sticking to what works. Natural, effective ingredients that support the hoof rather than sealing it off.
Made using a 100% natural formulation:
- Animal fat for deep nourishment and protection
- Fish oil to support elasticity and overall hoof condition
- Sunflower oil to maintain moisture and add natural shine
- Karanja oil known for its protective and antibacterial properties
- Bay leaves (laurus nobilis extract), macerated to release active compounds that promote healthy horn growth
These ingredients work together to penetrate, condition, and protect the hoof, rather than just sitting on the surface.
This is the kind of product farriers rely on because the results build over time:
- Improves suppleness and elasticity, helping reduce cracks and splits
- Supports strong, healthy horn growth
- Helps protect against bacteria and environmental stress
- Creates a breathable, non-greasy barrier that won’t suffocate the hoof
With consistent use, you’ll notice stronger walls, healthier frogs, and feet that cope better under pressure.
Sizes to suit every setup
- 250ml – ideal for tack boxes or occasional use
- 1L – perfect for regular maintenance

How to use

If hooves are extremely dry, lwet them first, allow them to dry, then apply the Kevin Bacon Natural hoof dressing/conditioner. This helps improve absorption and overall effectiveness.
Storage
- Store with the lid tightly sealed
- Keep in a cool, dry place
If you’re dealing with soft feet in winter, cracking in summer, or simply want to stay ahead of hoof issues before they start, this is one of those products that becomes a staple.
It’s simple, reliable, and proven—a natural hoof dressing and conditioner that does exactly what it says.
