Oiling the hooves is completed at the end of grooming, it is done for appearance usually for a competition or show. To prevent the hoof wall drying out and becoming brittle, especially if competing regularly, always use hoof oil with added moisture.
Pick out the hooves.
Using clean water and brush, scrub the hoof wall and the sole of the foot with clean.
Pick up the hoof and paint around the heels area (this will give it a more finished look).
Put the hoof on the floor and paint around the front of the hooves – be careful not to miss any areas!
Repeat on the other hooves.
