Full Description

Magic Cushion® hoof packing is clinically proven* to provide fast, soothing relief for overheated, stressed hooves. Trusted by top farriers, it begins reducing hoof heat within an hour and uses natural ingredients to support overall hoof health. Apply it as needed or pack it under a shoe and pad for prolonged relief through the entire shoeing cycle. Available in 2 lb, 4 lb, 8 lb, and 28 lb tubs.

Directions for Use

Thoroughly clean hoof using a hoof pick and wire brush if necessary. Due to the sticky nature of the ingredients you may want to use gloves to apply. Excess product may be removed with isopropyl alcohol. For packing under shoe and pad: Pack hoof sole with magic Cushion prior to nailing or gluing on pad and shoe. For packing overnight: Pack hoof sole with Magic Cushion to a depth of ½ inch. For optimal results, especially barefoot horses, cover sole with paper or plastic, then cover entire hoof and sole with self-adhering wrap or hoof boot. Reapply every 24-48 hours until condition improves.

Proven to reduce hoof heat

Fast-acting and long-lasting

How to get the most out of Hooflex Magic Cushion

STEP 1

Clean the frog and sole of the hoof well so the Magic Cushion can adhere directly to the hoof. Be sure to wear disposable gloves when applying Magic Cushion.

STEP 2

Pack Magic Cushion by working it into sulci of the frog, then covering the frog and sole. Start with a golf ball sized amount, then add more if needed for large hooves.

STEP 3

After packing, lower shod hooves into saw dust or shavings to seal the Magic Cushion. Barefoot horses will need their hooves wrapped after application for best results.

Works great - BUT BE CAREFUL!

This is the first time I have had this horrible of a reaction while using this product. At the time the hoof was wrapped there was not any of the product that leaked out from under the hoof, sometime during the 8 hours the hoof was wrapped the product leaked up the back of the hoof and literally glued itself to the horses fur. Three hours later, this is result of what happened. I will not be using this product again which is disappointing, but its not worth the aftermath if it leaks out from under the hoof.

Just as good as having a horse shoe

I kept Magic Cushion on hand for any "emergencies" my horses might have come up. When My horse lost a shoe on the day of a special trail ride I almost didn't go. Then a friend suggested to try Magic Cushion as it works great for her "ouchie" horses that had lost a shoe. I am so glad I did. I followed the normal directions and went on the ride. My horse was perfectly fine. No ouchieness at all. Thanks Absorbine for another great product.

A Barn Necessity

This product is definitely a barn necessity - especially a barn full of competition horses! My horses event so the footing isn’t always perfect and this is the absolute perfect product to pack their hooves with after a hard ride! It takes out any soreness in the hooves and keeps them sound and happy! I use this product one of two ways:

1. Pack the hooves and wrap

2. Pack the hooves and just put some shavings on the packing if they are staying in their stalls!

It’s amazing to have a product that stays in the hoof without a wrap and works just as well!! Less supplies and faster!

Highly recommend having magic cushion in your barn.

We don't need to pack hooves very often but when we do this is our go to product. Easy to apply and does the job.

Easy to use

This product is a combination of ingredients we used to mix up ourselves for sore footed horses. So much easier and worth the price.

Good support for horse prone to abscesses

I bought this to help care for hooves of a TB that was getting non-stop abscesses. It was good support for our care regime. Will always keep it on hand.

Great for hoof bruises/abscesses!

Love this product! Always have some on hand for hoof bruises or abscess recovery! Seems to really help take the heat and pain out of the hoof. Easy to apply and not irritating at all for the horse. Stays on great even when my horse is turned out and his bandage comes off.



Only downside it that it is SUPER sticky! Definitely want to wear gloves when using it!

Great Product

This is a great product. We use it after showing to take the sting out and give the horses some relief. We notice a difference on days we don't use it.

Helped with sore feet

I Have used this for sole bruises messy but helped out.

I don't notice a difference

I would say this is almost the say as the regular Magic Cushion. It's also a bit pricey for the sizes.

Invaluable!

We have a lot of horses that like to pull shoes and get abscesses and this is great for packing the sole when they’re sore. Can get a bit messy but overall works well.

Love this stuff!

I bought this for our horses after we completed a hunter pace, in which both of our horse threw a shoe a little over 1/2 thru the event. They were both a little sore afterwards, so applied this and they were back to their sound selves in a few days.

Must-Have Staple For Performance Horses

I've been using this since my farrier started using it under my horses' pads some ten years ago - he regularly used it for his hunters, jumpers, and 3Day horse clients. I use it after working on hard(er) ground, and after a long day at horse shows. You should apply it and wrap (the hoof) to keep the product on the frog/sole.

Nice to keep around

It’s not a product I use frequently but sometimes it’s just what I need.
