Yes. Deep Elixir is a versatile, climate-adaptive hoof treatment.

While its hydrophobic barrier helps protect against mud, excess moisture, and challenging wet conditions, Deep Elixir is equally effective during the dry summer months.

In periods of drought, its rich blend of botanical butters and beeswax helps seal in the hoof’s natural moisture. The formula deeply nourishes the hoof horn to prevent excessive dryness, promotes optimal hoof flexibility, and helps reduce chipping and cracking caused by hard, dry ground.

Designed and tested in Quebec’s demanding climate, Deep Elixir delivers year-round protection and support for strong, healthy hooves.

Absolutely. Cracks and crumbling of the hoof wall—often caused by temperature fluctuations and repeated cycles of dryness and moisture—can leave the hoof vulnerable to dirt, bacteria, and other environmental stressors.

Deep Elixir delivers intensive restorative nourishment through a rich blend of shea butter and beeswax. By helping restore flexibility and elasticity to the hoof capsule, it supports stronger, healthier horn structure and helps reduce the appearance and progression of cracks and breakage.

Its nutrient-rich formula also helps support healthy hoof growth from the coronet band, promoting the development of stronger, more resilient hooves over time.

Designed and tested in Quebec’s demanding climate, Deep Elixir provides year-round support for horses exposed to changing weather conditions and challenging environments.

Absolutely. in fact, it's highly recommended. An unpleasant odor coming from the frog or collateral grooves is often a sign that the hoof is being affected by damp bedding, trapped moisture, or an unhealthy hoof environment.

Deep Elixir is formulated with a powerful blend of laurel, thyme, and rosemary essential oils, along with neem oil. Together, these natural ingredients help purify and cleanse the hoof’s most confined areas, supporting a cleaner and healthier environment.

By helping maintain optimal hoof hygiene, Deep Elixir promotes a fresh, balanced hoof environment while supporting overall hoof health and resilience.

Formulated and tested in Quebec’s demanding climate, Deep Elixir provides year-round care for horses exposed to moisture, mud, and challenging stable conditions.

Most conventional hoof dressings contain a high percentage of water, which can dilute their active ingredients and often requires the addition of preservatives.

At The Riding Glow, we chose a different approach: 0% water and 100% active ingredients.

By completely eliminating water from the formula, every ingredient serves a purpose. The result is an ultra-concentrated balm rich in botanical butters, oils, and active ingredients that deliver maximum performance with every application.

Because the formula is so concentrated, a very small amount goes a long way. A thin layer is all that’s needed to provide deep nourishment and protection, making each jar exceptionally long-lasting.

More active ingredients. Less product. Better results.

Balsam fir, Quebec’s precious “green gold,” is renowned for its powerful purifying properties.

In Deep Elixir, it does much more than provide its fresh, woody scent reminiscent of Quebec’s wild forests. It also acts as an exceptional natural binder, helping the balm adhere perfectly to both the hoof wall and sole.

This superior adhesion creates a long-lasting protective barrier against moisture, mud, and manure, allowing the balm to remain effective even for horses living outdoors.

Combined with other carefully selected botanical ingredients, balsam fir helps make Deep Elixir a complete hoof care treatment designed to purify, protect, and support healthy hooves in all seasons.

Deep Elixir creates a true hydrophobic protective barrier. Applying the balm to a damp or dirty hoof can trap moisture, bacteria, and debris beneath the product, reducing its effectiveness and potentially compromising hoof health.

For maximum purifying and nourishing benefits, thoroughly clean the hoof with a hoof pick and brush, then ensure the hoof is completely dry before application.

A clean, dry surface allows Deep Elixir to adhere properly to the hoof, helping its active ingredients penetrate effectively while creating a long-lasting barrier against moisture, mud, and environmental contaminants.

Yes! Thanks to its rich texture and highly protective ingredients (including botanical butters, neem oil, and coconut oil) Deep Elixir can be applied beyond the hoof to the heel bulbs and pasterns.

It creates an effective protective barrier against mud, excess moisture, and other environmental stressors, making it an excellent addition to your horse’s routine during wet and challenging conditions.

For horses living outdoors or regularly exposed to muddy paddocks and damp environments, applying Deep Elixir to the pastern area can help support and protect the skin while complementing your overall hoof care program.

For maintenance (healthy hooves):

Applying Deep Elixir twice per week is sufficient to help maintain hoof flexibility, nourish the white line, and support healthy growth from the coronet band.

For intensive care (challenging conditions, damaged hooves, or unpleasant-smelling frogs):

Apply a thin layer four times per week until the hoof's condition improves.

Because Deep Elixir contains 100% active ingredients and 0% water, a small amount goes a long way. Consistent application is far more important than using a large quantity of product.

This simple routine helps keep hooves strong, resilient, and protected throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.

Thanks to its ultra-concentrated formula and the fact that it is applied in a very thin layer, a 225 ml jar typically lasts between 3 and 6 months for one horse, depending on environmental conditions and the horse’s individual hoof care needs.

Because Deep Elixir contains 100% active ingredients and 0% water, only a small amount is needed with each application. This means every jar delivers a large number of applications while providing consistent nourishment and protection.

Usage may vary depending on factors such as climate, hoof condition, turnout environment, and whether the balm is being used for regular maintenance or intensive care.

Like any truly natural product made with botanical butters and beeswax, Deep Elixir will naturally become firmer in colder temperatures and softer in warmer weather.

These texture changes are normal and do not affect the product's quality or effectiveness.

To preserve the integrity of its active ingredients, avoid exposing the balm to extreme heat. Excessive temperatures may cause the product to become liquid and could alter the performance of its natural active compounds.

For best results, store Deep Elixir in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
