Manuka Honey in Hoof Care—What It’s Good For

A barn-tested staple known for supporting surface hygiene and moisture balance.

Manuka honey is a distinctive New Zealand honey valued in horse care for its low water activity and naturally occurring compounds that help maintain a cleaner surface environment. Riders appreciate its ability to balance hoof moisture without heaviness or residue—ideal for everyday maintenance.

Why Riders Reach for It

Surface hygiene support: Keeps the hoof area cleaner during muddy or humid conditions.
Moisture management: Helps retain healthy moisture in the hoof wall and frog area.
Routine friendly: Works seamlessly with pick–clean–dry workflows and farrier schedules.

How to Work It In

1) Pick & clean: Remove debris and towel dry if damp.
2) Apply thinly: Target frog, sulci, and white line areas as advised.
3) Let it set: Allow to absorb before turnout or work.
