Red Horse Artimud – Medicated Hoof Putty – All Sizes

Red Horse Artimud is a clay based antimicrobial hoof putty. Trials showed that although Hoof-Stuff was brilliant in deeper cracks and crevices in the hoof it was unable to stay in shallower cracks and on the surface of the hoof .

Red Horse came upon the idea that since the only thing that consistently stuck to the areas of the foot we are usually trying to treat was in fact mud, so they tried to create something similar that had a beneficial rather than detrimental effect. Thus, Artimud was born.

Artimud can be smoothed, rolled, squashed, spread and moulded to stay in the area in which it is put so its active antimicrobial and healing agents can help to sort out the problem.

We have found it useful in the treatment of shallow white line separations, frog clefts, external cracks, thrush, white line disease etc. Use Artimud in shallower, more open holes/ cracks and Hoof-Stuff in deeper, tighter ones.

Artimud contains:
· Green french clay – an antimicrobial clay which gives the putty the perfect consistency.
· Bio-active honey – for its antimicrobial qualities and ability to make the putty sticky.
· Zinc Oxide – a powerful, yet harmless antimicrobial powder.
· Tea tree oil – an essential oil well known for its bacteria and fungus fighting abilities.
· Eucalyptus oil – as well as being an effective antimicrobial, this essential oil assists in the toughening of weakened structures.

All the ingredients in Artimud are there to either have an antimicrobial effect or to improve the consistency and hence the longevity of its effect
