Cavalor LaminAid 1 Litre + Podosens 500ml (Equine)

Laminitis is a condition involving inflammation between the hoof wall and the coffin bone. It is usually the result of a metabolic disorder or metabolic problems and can be either chronic or acute.

Along with inflammation in the hoof, it also causes circulation problems in the foot where fluid accumulates.

As the hoof wall can only expand slightly, this accumulation is accompanied by severe pain. Horses try to relieve the pressure on the coffin bone by leaning back and shifting their weight to their heels.

Sometimes they even refuse to stand up. In severe cases, the coffin bone can come loose from the hoof wall and rotate. Such damage is irreversible. Particularly in the case of laminitis, prevention is absolutely crucial.

Cavalor LaminAid is recommended for horses with sensitive hooves due to metabolism problems. Cavalor LaminAid works on different levels in the body to holistically address metabolic disorders that may lead to symptoms of laminitis.

It supports a horse’s delicate intestinal flora and brings hormonal and metabolic processes back into balance. Cavalor LaminAid also helps to support blood circulation and promotes blood flow in the hoof.

Cavalor LaminAid is a unique, balanced combination of several essential oils including Eucalyptus globulus, Allium sativum, and Betula alba.

Each of these has its own specific structure, composition, and effect. Combined, they complement one another other with synergistic and powerful effects.

Cavalor LaminAid contains a unique combination of essential oils that are scientifically proven to help relieve the symptoms of laminitis while addressing the underlying causes for long-lasting effect.

Naturally, treating laminitis also requires an appropriate feeding, care, and exercise plan for best results.

Cavalor PodoSens is a unique blend of essential oils that helps to provide quick relief to sensitive hooves and promotes hoof elasticity. It also supports optimum hoof growth. Cavalor PodoSens is a therapeutic hoof oil for use on horses with sensitive hooves and/or problem hooves.

Cavalor PodoSens also improves elasticity in the hoof wall, ensuring not only quick relief, but also supporting the hoof mechanism and improving the quality and growth of the hoof. Unlike other oils that must be used daily for hoof maintenance and to make hooves shine, Cavalor PodoSens is economical to use, as it is intended for application to the sole and/or coronet only.

Cavalor PodoSens contains a high concentrate of essential oils such as clove (Syzygium aromaticum), birch (Betula alba), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus). These mainly reduce hoof sensitivity but also stimulate blood flow for more efficient elimination of toxins.

Hoof horn grows constantly – about a centimetre each month. We can therefore always adjust or support its development. A balanced diet provides all the nutrients a healthy hoof needs, but sometimes it’s necessary to adjust feed and provide extra care.

Although hooves look firm and lifeless on the outside due to their hard horn layer, don’t forget that underneath lies the sensitive corium, which contains many sensitive nerve endings and blood vessels. A horse with problem hooves will have irregular gaits, avoid hard surfaces and, in severe cases, even lie down noticeably more to take the pressure off of its hooves.

Sensitive hooves are often caused by inflammation responses after overloading or from being ridden on uncomfortable terrain. However, older horses often naturally have sensitive hooves or thinner soles, making them more prone to pain.

Your horse may also appear to be walking on eggshells if the farrier has trimmed his hooves just a bit too short. Another frequent cause for sensitive hooves is laminitis. This disease is often the result of a metabolic disorder, where toxins are produced that cause inflammation of the laminae that connect the hoof wall with the corium. It is extremely painful and requires a “whole-horse” approach.
