Zinc Sulphate helps form a protective barrier across the surface of the sole and frog. It is widely used in hoof care products and is particularly valued during periods when hooves are exposed to wet ground, muddy turnout conditions and ongoing moisture.
Benzalkonium Chloride helps support hoof hygiene by cleansing the hoof surface and assisting with the removal of contamination that can accumulate within the frog, central sulcus and other hard-to-clean areas of the hoof.
Eucalyptus Oil provides a fresh, clean scent while helping combat the unpleasant odours commonly associated with dirty, muddy or moisture-prone hooves.
Glycerin helps the product spread evenly throughout the sole and frog, improving coverage and allowing the active ingredients to reach uneven hoof surfaces more effectively.
Bentonite Clay acts as a natural drawing clay and forms the foundation of Sole Shield's unique liquid clay system. It helps carry the formula deep into cracks, crevices, central sulcus grooves and other hard-to-reach areas while helping absorb moisture and contamination from the hoof surface.

Who is Sole Shield designed for?
Sole Shield is designed for horse owners, riders, grooms, farriers and yard managers looking for a practical hoof care product for routine sole, frog and hoof hygiene maintenance.
Sole Shield is an advanced hoof care gel for horses, developed specifically for routine sole and frog maintenance. Featuring a unique ultra-thin liquid clay formula, it flows easily into small cracks, crevices, grooves and irregular hoof surfaces where thicker hoof products often struggle to penetrate.
Horse owners frequently encounter hoof care challenges throughout the year, particularly during periods of wet weather, muddy turnout, prolonged stable time and changing ground conditions. Issues such as hoof odour, thrush-prone conditions, deep central sulcus grooves, seedy toe concerns and general sole and frog hygiene often become a greater focus during these periods. Sole Shield has been designed to fit naturally into regular hoof care routines when maintaining clean, healthy hooves is a priority.
Unlike many hoof pastes that sit on the surface of the hoof, Sole Shield's liquid clay technology has been developed to flow deeper into the small cracks, crevices and uneven surfaces commonly found around the frog, sole and central sulcus. This helps provide more targeted coverage exactly where hoof care products are often needed most.
The easy-squeeze bottle provides clean, controlled application directly into the sole, frog and central sulcus, making it simple to apply during routine hoof picking, before turnout, after riding or as part of an ongoing hoof maintenance programme.
The formula combines zinc sulphate, benzalkonium chloride, eucalyptus and glycerin within a bentonite clay base. Together these ingredients create a practical hoof care gel designed for horse owners who take hoof hygiene, sole care and frog maintenance seriously.
Ideal for horse owners, riders, grooms, farriers and yard managers, Sole Shield is suitable for both barefoot and shod horses and is particularly popular during wet winters, muddy conditions and periods when hoof care becomes a greater focus.
