After consulting with various farriers, veterinarians, and pharamcists to develop a “miracle cure” for dry, brittle hooves, Kevin Bacon's Horse Care was born!
They developed products made of animal fats, vegetable oils, and laurel extract (obtained by maceration) that truly penetrated the horn to keep moisture inside the hoof. The beneficial actions of laurel extract were not necessarily unknown at the time, but by doing the extraction myself I was able to check the concentrations of active ingredients that it contained. As the years went by, other products followed in the wake of the original hoof dressing...and the story continues.
