"I received the product earlier in the year, and this summer was quite dry in southwest Michigan. My 13-year-old appendix mare has historically had issues with chipping and cracking, especially in the rear. I applied Farrier's Finish on all four feet this year (and with more frequency) during the dryer periods, and I'm happy to report we had zero issues with cracks or chips. I attended one of Life Data Lab's webinars, and they mentioned that if a hoof dressing isn't safe for humans, it shouldn't be applied to your horse. I now stick to that advice 100%.
