With over 250 years of experience in the horse care industry, Carr & Day & Martin, our sister brand owned by Connolly’s RED MILLS’s Group provides a wide variety of horse care products from hoof care lines, coat conditioners, and mane & tail detanglers to name but a few to ensure your horses are in the best shining condition possible during sales prep and are immaculately turned out when they arrive at the sales ground.
Hoof Care for Your Young Horse during Sales Prep
As young horses begin their prep programmes, the increased walking and exercise can impact the integrity of their hooves, resulting in lameness. Although hoof care starts with nutrition, it is essential to have a hoof care routine for all horses in prep. Our horse hoof ointment, Cornucrescine Original Hoof Ointment has been used for generations to promote healthy hoof growth and has even been used to promote hair regeneration on those scrapes and scratches horses pick up along the way. Combined with one of our hoof care from Cornucresine’s Daily Range, it will ensure your horses hooves are strong and healthy throughout the season.
For the sales ring shine the traditional Vanner & Prest Hoof Oil for horses is a fan favourite.
Reducing Stress in Your Young Horses By Keeping Flies at Bay
During the summer months flies can be a big problem when handling young horses. For safety, it is important to try to keep those flies at bay using fly repellant for horses such as Carr & Day & Martin Flygard Extra Strength and is key to avoiding any cases of sweet itch in horses. It is also inevitable that horses are going to pick up scrapes and scratches during prep, so we would always recommend having a fully stocked first aid kit.
Best Coat Care Products for Your Young Horse for Sales Prep
Although a healthy coat starts on the inside, grooming is an essential part of the process to ensure your horses coat is shining when your horse reaches the sales ground. Retaining and promoting the coats natural oils is imperative when looking for the ultimate sales ring finish. Our low foaming, pH neutral , horse shampoos such as Gallop Shampoos provide thorough cleansing and colour enhancing properties, without stripping away any natural oils.
