Is Fiske’s effective in any climate?
Environment affects everything in our horse’s hooves. Regardless if you live in the coastal regions or the interior regions, the environment dictates. Dry hooves are common in winter from cold and snow and dry hooves are common in summer from hot dry weather. Little moisture content in soil creates dryness to the hoof…DRY HOOVES ARE HARD HOOVES. During the rainy seasons of spring and fall there is more moisture in the ground and conditions tend to be wet and muddy, then wet hooves become soft. Also, in heavy due pasture grass the natural peroiple is being wasted off from the horse walking around in the grass. The beeswax in Fiske’s provides an excellent protective covering to the hoof in all geographical locations.Farrier David can explains it like drinking hot chocolate…if it’s too hot we blow on it to cool it down and if our hands are cold we can blow on our hands to warm it up. FISKE kinda works like our breath being blown on the hoof.
