This is a pretty simple Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe that only requires a few ingredients. It is quick to whip up and easy to use. Also, this recipe is made with natural, pet-safe ingredients. This hoof oil is great for hooves as well as horns, and it does a pretty nice job on hands, too.

The ingredients for this Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe were each chosen for specific health benefits.

3 cups Coconut Oil

1 Tablespoon Vitamin E

1 ½ Cups Lanolin (can sub with Glycerin)

1 ½ Cups Aloe Vera gel

1 Tablespoon Lavender Essential Oil

1 Tablespoon Tea Tree Essential Oil

Coconut oil is fast-absorbing and moisturizing to the hoof, but regular use will not make the hooves soft.

Vitamin E oil is used as both a preservative and for its anti-bacterial properties.

Glycerin and Lanolin are humectants, which just means they will seal the hoof to lock the moisture in.

The original recipe calls for Lanolin, but it is hard to come by and expensive these days. You can substitute glycerin for the lanolin if you do not have lanolin. Use the same amount of glycerin as you would lanolin.

Aloe Vera gel will soothe inflammation and moisturize the hoof.

Lavender essential oil is anti-bacterial and soothing to the skin.

Tea Tree Essential Oil is also anti-bacterial.

This is picture one for the Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe. It shows all of the ingredients set out ready to use.

To make the Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe:

1. In a stovetop pot, gently warm the coconut oil.

Note that some coconut oil will be solid at room temp. You will want to be sure to buy the refined coconut oil that stays liquid.

2. Stir in Glycerin or Lanolin until completely dissolved and mixed.

3. Take the oil off the stovetop and let it cool a bit.

4. Add the Vitamin E and stir til well blended.

5. Stir in the Aloe Vera Gel. Be sure to get all ingredients mixed and well blended.

In our experience, the Aloe Vera Gel takes a good bit of mixing and shaking to get it mixed into the other ingredients.

6. Mix in the essential oils one at a time if you are using more than one.

To use your Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe:

If your Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil sits for a bit, it will separate, and you will need to give it a vigorous shake to get all of the ingredients mixed again.

1. When you are ready to use your Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe, take a small paint brush, hoof brush, or clean rag. Whatever you use, be sure that it will only be used for this Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe. Do not get other stuff into your hoof oil, or it may go bad. You can use your hand to apply the hoof oil, but it will get all over you and leave your hand soft and smooth.

2. Clean the hoof in question’s top and pick out the bottom. If the hoof is nasty or has stuff on it, the oil will not be able to get into the hoof itself.

3. Apply a thin coating of the Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe to all four hooves. Make sure you get the top, bottom, and whole hoof, including up into the hair line.

4. Keep the animal up for at least 30 min so the hoof oil will have time to be absorbed by the hoof and give it time to dry.

This picture shows the goat waiting in a pen for his hooves to dry before being released into the pasture.

5. Turn the animal out as usual.

Depending on how damaged or dry the animal’s hooves are, you can use the Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe daily for repair and weekly for maintenance.

This hoof oil can also be used as a preventative. If you live in areas that are either very dry, very cold, or stay wet a lot, this oil can help prevent damage and keep hooves healthy.

The Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe can also be used on horns for the same health benefits.

Another plus of this recipe is that it helps repel bugs. So applying a small amount to the goat’s or cow’s horns will help keep flies and gnats away.

This picture group shows the Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe being applied to the goats horns and the goat chewing the cleaning cloth as he waits.

This is a fairly easy recipe, and when used regularly, it will help keep your animal’s hooves in good shape. Of course, regular trimming and cleaning are always a plus.

The Moisturizing Repair Hoof Oil Recipe should last for about 6 months. But always check it before use to be sure that it has not gone off the shelf.

If you do not have or can not find the other ingredients, coconut oil by itself will still help with damaged and dry hooves. But combining these ingredients will be more helpful, and adding each one will add benefits to it.
