Thyme Oil in Hoof Care—Why We Use It

Barn-ready support for a cleaner hoof surface and a healthy-looking capsule.

Thyme oil (from Thymus vulgaris) has been used in grooming products for its surface-hygiene and conditioning roles. In day-to-day hoof care, riders value it as part of a program that keeps the wall and frog looking tidy—especially when moisture and mud try to stack the odds.

What It Brings to the Routine

  • Surface hygiene support: Helps you maintain a cleaner hoof environment during daily care.
  • Conditioning assist: Works within a breathable base to support a healthy-looking wall and sole.
  • Show-friendly scent: Light, natural aroma—no heavy perfumes in the aisle.
  • Routine-ready: Plays well with pick-clean-dry workflows and farrier guidance.
Good habits win: Dry stalls, daily picking, and on-time farrier work do the heavy lifting. Topicals support the plan—never replace professional care.

Why SilverHoof EQ Therapy®

  • Hoof hygiene support: Formulated to help keep the hoof surface tidy in wet, high-traffic conditions.
  • Conditioning system: Tea tree + thyme oils in a breathable base support a healthy-looking hoof capsule.
  • Routine-ready: Pick, clean, dry, apply—pairs with your farrier’s program.

Topical use on intact hoof/skin. Avoid eyes and sensitive tissues. Not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment.
