Frequently Asked Questions
What is Absorbine Hooflex Magic Cushion used for?
Magic Cushion is a therapeutic hoof packing designed to significantly reduce heat, inflammation, and structural soreness inside a horse’s hoof capsule caused by concussion or hard ground.
How quickly does Magic Cushion work?
The advanced formula begins drawing out intense heat and soothing underlying sole bruising within hours of application.
Why choose the 3.6kg size over smaller tubs?
The 3.6kg tub is specifically designed for professional yards, breeders, farriers, and owners with multiple horses. It provides the most cost-effective price-per-application, ensuring you always have enough therapeutic packing on hand.
Do I need to wear gloves when applying it?
Yes. Magic Cushion is a highly effective, very sticky formula due to its natural rosin and turpentine content. Wearing disposable gloves during application makes the process quick and mess-free.
Can it be used on barefoot horses?
Absolutely. While it is excellent under pads for shod horses, it can easily be packed into barefoot hooves and secured overnight using a standard cohesive bandage, vet wrap, or a protective hoof boot.
Does it contain any banned substances for competition?
Magic Cushion is widely used by professional riders globally. However, because rules can vary between disciplines (such as FEI, BD, or BS), we always recommend checking the current topical regulations of your specific governing body before competing.
