Kawell's Copper Alloy Horseshoes, Bar Stock, and Frog Inserts eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and fungi that can be found in the hoof. Copper is known to be naturally antibacterial, as well as antifungal and Kawell’s Copper Alloy utilizes these antimicrobial properties to fight common hoof diseases. Our EPA approved blend of copper and other metals help prevent and treat seedy toe, white line disease and thrush, while having a similar durability to traditional steel horseshoes. Using our copper alloy hoof care products decrease the costs associated with hoof damage over time and reduces low - intensity trauma.
