The story of Kevin Bacon’s hoof dressing began in the 1980's. The creator had just bought a mare with a clipped heel and was unable to find anything that would get the horn to grow back. A friend then suggested to him that he should make his own hoof dressing. So, he then met with various farriers, veterinarians, and pharmacists to develop a “miracle cure” for dry, brittle hooves. As a result, he developed a product made of animal fats, vegetable oils, and laurel extract (obtained by maceration) that truly penetrated the horn to keep moisture inside the hoof.
As the years went by, other products followed in the wake of the original hoof dressing...and the story continues.
