Anybody try this stuff yet? I thought I'd use it as a more reasonably priced alternative to the pink stuff, but I squeezed out a blob of it and it seems awfully firm stuff to put on a horses sole. Am I wrong? crazy? what? I'm afraid to try it on a horse until I get some more input.

Equithane hoof builder is best when warm before you mix it aprox. 60 to 70 degrees. You dont have but maybe 30 seconds to apply it to the hoof after mixing, then it starts to harden. I use it with a mixing gun and mixing tube end, (its spiraled for proper mixing) and have found that it works well on horses that are not subject to working on hard surfaces, such as concrete, asphalt, rocky ground, for too long. The surface of the hoof has to be clean to get it to stay on ( I use aliphatic naptha (or nail polish remover))
I haven't used it on the area of the soul, only weak cracking hoof wall, and I beleive the product is good.

I have just started to use the equithane line of products.I have had good luck with it so far, I changed from equliox because the horses in Bermuda have to go on the worst footing, and also the warmer weather.
I just used it today and my client was over the moon at the finished job and the horse will show this weekend at the Hunter Classic hear in Bermuda. I like it for building up heals on under rung feet. I apply it straight to the shoe and it last the life of the shoe. I also find the it hold's to the foot a lot longer than any other hoof filler. Try it and good luck with it.
