FAQs

Can Lincoln Epsom Salts be fed to my horse?

No, this product is strictly for external use only. Consult your veterinarian regarding internal mineral supplements.

How do I perform a hoof soak?

Dissolve the salts in a tub of warm water as directed by your farrier and place the horse's hoof into the solution for the recommended duration.

Will this help with my horse's dandruff?

Yes, applying a solution of warm water and Epsom Salts with a cloth is an effective way to remove scurf and dandruff from the coat.

Is it safe to use on sensitive skin?

While generally gentle, perform a small patch test if your horse has a history of skin allergies, and avoid applying to open, weeping wounds unless advised by a vet.

How should I store the 2kg bag?

Store in a cool, dry place with the bag tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering and causing the product to solidify.

Can I use this after every workout?

Yes, it is suitable for frequent use as a muscle soak after strenuous work to aid comfort.

Troubleshooting

Salts have clumped together in the container.

This is a natural reaction to humidity; break up the clumps with a clean, dry scoop or utensil and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use.

Difficulty dissolving the crystals in water.

Ensure you are using warm water, as magnesium sulphate dissolves more efficiently in higher temperatures compared to cold water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare, dissolve the required amount of Epsom Salts into warm water, ensuring all crystals are fully integrated to prevent localized irritation. When using for hoof soaks, ensure the tub or boot is cleaned thoroughly before and after use. Store the 2kg container in a cool, dry, and airtight environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause the salts to cake. Always consult with your farrier or veterinarian regarding the specific concentration and frequency of use before applying to an injury.
