Their maintenance is essential to maintain a good quality horn and preserve the solidity of the wall and the damping role of the fork and the sole. ESC black ointment is perfect for daily foot care. It protects the wall from drying out, preserves the foot from humidity and stimulates the growth of the horse's horn.

They contain a variable quantity of vegetable wax (vegetable wax or oleoresin), to guarantee a regular consistency despite temperature changes. The strong points of this formula are: Vegetable wax: our vegetable wax comes from a tree from a South American tree. This wax has a strong film-forming power and is therefore protective for the hoof.
