Excellence Grooming & Hoof Care | Emmers Equestrian
Excellence is a Belgian brand built around one specialty: hoof oil. It was developed by a farrier with decades of hands-on experience who wanted a genuinely natural formula, not a synthetic one. At Emmers, you'll find the Excellence hoof oil, made from essential oils, vegetable oils, and beeswax, together with the Clean & Care leather cleaner to keep your tack in top condition.
That focus is what makes Excellence special. Instead of a broad grooming line, Excellence sticks to what its founder knows best: healthy-looking hooves, plus one companion product for the leather you handle every day at the yard. It's the choice for owners who prefer a few well-considered products over a shelf full of everything.
Tips for Choosing
- Choose the 1L hoof oil if you apply it regularly. It's the better value per use, while the 500 ml is ideal for trying it out.
- Natural, oil-based formulas can take a little longer to absorb than synthetic hoof dressings, so apply the oil to a clean hoof and not over dirt or moisture.
- Use Clean & Care on the leather itself, and keep your usual metal polish for the fittings for a complete tack-cleaning routine.
- Switching from another hoof product? Give Excellence a few weeks of consistent use before judging the results, as hooves change gradually, not overnight.
- Store both products away from direct heat, as natural oil and wax-based formulas can separate in high temperatures.
Frequently asked questions
What does Excellence actually make?
A small, focused range: a natural hoof oil and a leather cleaning product, rather than a full grooming line.
What's in the hoof oil?
A natural formula of essential oils, vegetable oils and beeswax, rather than synthetic ingredients.
How often should I apply the hoof oil?
Most owners apply it a few times a week as part of regular hoof care, though it's worth checking the product label for specific guidance.
Is Clean & Care suitable for all leather types?
It's designed for general tack leather care; if you have a specific delicate or exotic leather, it's worth checking compatibility first.
Which size hoof oil should I buy?
The 500 ml is fine for occasional use, but the 1 L is better value if you're treating hooves regularly.
Is this brand suitable for horses with sensitive skin or allergies?
The natural formulation is a reasonable starting point, but if your horse has known sensitivities, check the ingredient list or ask your vet first.
