Cloud 9™ Soft Equine Putty
Cloud 9™ Soft Equine Putty is a cutting-edge for supporting or discouraging common hoof problems and discomfort.


When Your Horse’s Hooves Are Sore, Are You Prepared?
Whoever said “Healthy as a horse"— never had a horse! Few animals are as magnificent and powerful as a horse— yet horses are extremely fragile in so many ways. The most ‘fragile’ of all is their hooves and legs! You have a large body sitting on relatively ‘tiny’ hooves! Yet, everything is, literally, riding on those hooves! Understanding these facts, few things put fear into a horseman or woman faster than the words “Your horse is lame”. 
 
Sore Hooves Can Come From Things Like:
  • A Farrier that trimmed too short 
  • Cracked Hooves
  • Stone Bruises
  • Abscess
  • Laminitis
  • Founder
  • Thin Soles

Yes, with lameness, you will need to call your vet, but having something to instantly provide comfort to your horse is both empowering and necessary! Cloud 9™ Silicone Putty is EASY to apply and provides instant protection and comfort to a horse with ’sore feet’! Formulated with platinum cure silicone and compatible with antimicrobial agents, it provides unparalleled cushioning and durability. Trusted by veterinarians and farriers, Cloud 9 ensures your horse’s hooves stay healthy and strong!

What If I Just Want To Use The Putty For Every Day Riding? 
You certainly can and many of our clients do! Just simply put the putty under the pads of your shoes and you are set!
  1. Remedial Work: The putty can be applied to provide additional support to hooves that are injured or inflamed. It helps in distributing weight evenly and alleviating pressure points, which can aid in the healing process.
  2. Absorbing Shock: Horses that are regularly ridden or perform heavy work might benefit from the shock-absorbing properties of the putty. It helps cushion the hooves, reducing the impact and stress on the hoof structures, which can prevent injuries and improve overall hoof health.
  3. Custom Fit for Hooves: The putty is available in different hardness levels, making it customizable to suit the specific needs of each horse. This ensures that the putty can provide optimal support and comfort, tailored to the unique hoof shape and condition of the horse.
  4. Protective Barrier: It can act as a protective barrier against debris and bacteria, keeping the hoof clean and reducing the risk of infections. This is particularly useful in environments where the horse is exposed to wet or dirty conditions.
  5. Enhancing Hoof Functionality: For horses with structural issues or deformities, the putty can help in correcting and improving hoof functionality, allowing the horse to move more comfortably and efficiently.

What Other Benefits Does Cloud 9™ Hoof Putty Have? 
  1. Antimicrobial Properties: Cloud 9™ Silicone Putty is compatible with copper sulfate which is well-known for its antimicrobial properties. Adding copper sulfate to Cloud 9 Silicone Putty can help prevent and treat bacterial and fungal infections in horse hooves. This is especially beneficial for conditions like thrush, which is a common bacterial infection in the frog of the hoof.
  2. Promoting Hoof Health: The antimicrobial action helps maintain a healthier hoof environment, reducing the likelihood of infections that can compromise hoof integrity. This promotes overall hoof health and aids in faster recovery from infections and injuries.
  3. Enhanced Healing: Copper sulfate can aid in the healing process of existing infections or injuries by keeping the area clean and free from harmful microbes. This can be particularly useful in the case of deep hoof cracks or other structural damages where bacteria might infiltrate.
  4. Preventive Care: Regular use of putty with copper sulfate can act as a preventive measure, reducing the risk of infections before they start. This is particularly useful in wet or muddy conditions where horses are more prone to developing hoof problems.
  5. Mixing your own copper sulfate with the putty enables you to adjust the amount of antimicrobial agent precisely to suit the specific needs of each horse.
  6. Hmmm Which Hardness Will Help WHICH Hoof Condition?

First, you never have to wonder, you are always welcome to call and ask us. And, these are great guidelines below:
 
  • Cracked Hoof: A medium hardness putty can provide the right balance of support and flexibility to stabilize the crack while allowing the hoof to heal properly.
 
  • Stone Bruise: A soft hardness putty is ideal for stone bruises as it offers cushioning and reduces pressure on the affected area, promoting comfort and healing.
 
  • Abscess: For abscesses, a soft to medium hardness putty is recommended. It helps protect the area from further contamination while providing enough support to aid in the drainage and healing process.
 
  • Laminitis: A soft to medium hardness putty can help distribute weight more evenly across the hoof, reducing pressure on the laminae and providing relief from pain.
 
  • Founder: Similar to laminitis, soft to medium hardness putty is beneficial for founder, offering support and shock absorption to ease the strain on the affected hoof structures.
 
  • Thin Soles: A medium to hard hardness putty is advisable for thin soles. It provides robust support and protection, helping to prevent further wear and injury to the sensitive sole area.
 
How Often Should I Apply?
The frequency of applying Cloud 9™ Soft Equine Putty depends on the specific needs of the horse and the particular hoof condition being treated. Generally, it can be applied as needed based on the wear and tear of the putty and the progress of the hoof condition. Here are some guidelines:
  1. Cracked Hoof: Check and reapply every 2-3 weeks, or as needed if the putty starts to degrade or lose its effectiveness.
  2. Stone Bruise: Reapplication may be necessary every 1-2 weeks, especially if the horse is active, to ensure continued cushioning and protection.
  3. Abscess: Change the putty every 1-2 weeks, or as recommended by a veterinarian, to maintain a clean and sterile environment aiding in the healing process.
  4. Laminitis: Regularly monitor and reapply the putty every 2-3 weeks, ensuring the support and distribution of weight remain effective.
  5. Founder: Similar to laminitis, reapplication every 2-3 weeks is advisable to maintain proper hoof support and relief.
  6. Thin Soles: Apply fresh putty every 2-3 weeks or as needed, depending on the horse’s activity level and the condition of the soles.

Note: It’s important to regularly inspect the hooves and consult with a farrier or veterinarian to determine the best reapplication schedule based on the horse’s specific circumstances and response to the treatment​. Generally, the silicone will last until the next shoe change as long as 6 weeks or more.
 
Can I Apply Hoof Putty to the Entire Bottom of The Hoof?
Yes, you can apply Cloud 9™ Soft Equine Putty to the entire bottom of the hoof, especially in cases of thin soles or stone bruising. Applying the putty across the whole hoof surface can provide comprehensive cushioning and protection, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote healing. This method is beneficial in distributing weight evenly and absorbing impact, which is crucial for conditions like thin soles and stone bruises.
 
Which Putty Can I Wear Under A Hoof Pad When Getting New Shoes?
  • For wearing under a hoof pad when getting new shoes, Cloud 9 Soft Equine Putty is a suitable choice. Specifically, a medium to hard hardness putty is recommended for this application. This type of putty provides the necessary support and cushioning required when used in conjunction with hoof pads and new shoes.
  • Medium Hardness: This level offers a balance of flexibility and support, making it ideal for general use under hoof pads. It provides sufficient cushioning while maintaining structural integrity.
  • Hard Hardness: This option is better for horses that need more robust support due to significant hoof issues or for those with high activity levels. It ensures maximum protection and support under the hoof pad and shoes.

Note: Applying the putty correctly under the hoof pad helps in distributing weight evenly and reducing impact shock, which is beneficial for the overall hoof health and comfort of the horse​
 
Are Hoof Wraps Available If I Need One? 
Once you apply the putty, you will need something to secure the putty on the hoof. You can either wrap it yourself, use it under pads in your horse’s shoes, or, if you need a hoof wrap you may wish to talk to IceHorse.net and see if you can work with them to forward an order for anyone who may need a wrap.
