Seasonal hoof care
Most horse owners breathe a sigh of relief in autumn. The flies ease off, the fields look lush again, and the air feels cooler. A calm, easy season for horses. But there’s something happening under those green blades of grass that often goes unnoticed...
It’s called the Autumn Flush, a natural regrowth that happens when rain returns after a dry summer. The fields suddenly burst back into life.
From the outside, it looks harmless. But from a nutritional point of view, it’s a very concentrated source of sugars and energy, which can be a nightmare for horses with sugar sensitivities.
If your horse is at risk of sensitive hooves, or struggles with their sugar metabolism, this can be a dangerous time of year. That's why vets recommend our Steady & Stable supplement as it contains natural ingredients to support sugar metabolism and sensitive hooves.
Thousands of health-conscious horse owners across Europe are discovering just how big a change it can make to their horse's health when used alongside proper feed and pasture management.
Just like the cold affects the circulation in your fingers and toes, the same happens with your horse/pony's hooves.
During Autumn, the warm, sunny days are lovely, but as the temperature drops overnight, blood vessels in the extremities, including the hooves constrict. This can lead to reduced blood flow to the hooves, increasing their sensitivity.
Why it works
Curafyt's Steady & Stable supplement contains L-arginine which promotes blood circulation due to its vasodilatory effects, which help widen blood vessels and enhance blood flow to help your horse feel less sensitivity in their hooves.
Excess sugar is a horse owner's worst nightmare and during the Autumn Flush the sugar content in the grass rises, increasing the risk of sensitive hooves – don't get taken by surprise this year!
The combination of sunny days and cold nights lead to a rapid increase in grass sugar content which can be incredibly dangerous for horses and ponies at risk of sensitive hooves.
Hay can also contain high sugar levels, especially when it's harvested from grasses that have experienced rapid growth or have been stressed by environmental conditions, further increasing the risk to horses prone to sensitive hooves.
Why it works
Sourberry (Berberis Vulgaris) in Steady & Stable supports sugar metabolism by balancing sugar levels in the blood.
Horses and ponies with sensitive hooves are often less active. Lack of exercise can reduce blood flow to the hooves and increase the likelihood of toxin buildup in the body, increasing the risk of sensitive hooves.
Moreover, the lack of movement can contribute to weight gain, further elevating the risk of sensitive hooves. Therefore, it is crucial to pay extra attention to the nutrition, exercise, and overall health of horses and ponies during the Autumn months to help prevent sensitive hooves.
Why it works
Chrysanthellum and Berberis Vulgaris help support liver function and promote a healthy body weight by aiding in the breakdown of fat.

"Incredible difference." As a veterinary student, I have always been somewhat skeptical about the use of supplements, but I must say this is truly an incredible difference. I haven't seen Rosa galloping in years, and now she is back running with the other horses. It's amazing how much better she is now.
