FAQs

How much Epsom salt should I use?

Refer to the product label for specific instructions. The amount will vary depending on the intended use (soaking hooves, muscle soaks, etc.).

Can I use Epsom salts on open wounds?

While Epsom salts can be used for drawing, it's best to consult your veterinarian before using it on open wounds.

How often should I soak my horse's hooves?

This depends on the condition. For hoof abscesses or soreness, soak 1-2 times daily. Always consult your vet.

Is Lincoln Epsom Salts safe for all horses?

While generally safe, it's recommended to consult your veterinarian, especially if your horse has any underlying health conditions. Always test on a small area first to check for any allergic reaction.

How long should I soak my horse?

For muscle soaks, 15-20 minutes is typically sufficient. For hoof soaks, the same time frame applies.

What should I do if my horse ingests Epsom salts?

Contact your veterinarian immediately.

Troubleshooting

Horse shows signs of skin irritation after use.

Discontinue use and consult a veterinarian. Rinse the affected area with clean water.

Epsom salts are not dissolving properly.

Ensure the water is warm, and stir the solution thoroughly. Make sure you are using the correct amount of Epsom salts.

Horse is resistant to soaking in the solution.

Introduce the process gradually, and ensure the water temperature is comfortable. You can also try adding a small amount of flavoring (like apple cider vinegar) to the water.
