How Erika Supported Apollo Through a Difficult Hoof Recovery

When horse owner Erika Collins found herself caring for Apollo through a serious hoof and lower-leg problem, keeping the area clean, dry, and well cared for became part of her daily routine.

During Apollo’s recovery, Erika began using three Parkmore products:

  • Parkmore GLF Immune Booster
  • Parkmore No Rinse Cleanser
  • Parkmore Skin Defense Cream

And she quickly found that each one filled a different role.

Extra Support During Recovery

Erika added Immune Booster to Apollo’s daily routine while his body was recovering.

“The Immune Booster became part of his daily routine, and I really liked having that extra support, especially for his gut while his body was recovering.”

Supporting normal immune function and digestive health can be particularly important during periods when a horse is under additional physical stress.

Keeping the Area Clean Without Constant Rinsing

One of Erika’s biggest challenges was keeping Apollo’s leg clean while also keeping the area as dry as possible.

That made the No Rinse Spray particularly useful.

“The No Rinse Spray was probably one of my favorites because it made keeping his leg clean so much easier between bandage changes.”

Instead of repeatedly washing and rinsing the leg, Erika could use No Rinse Spray as part of Apollo’s regular care routine.

“I was able to clean and care for the area without constantly having to wash and rinse his leg, which was especially important since I needed to keep the area clean and dry.”

A Little Defense Cream Went a Long Way

As Apollo’s skin improved, Erika also used Skin Defense Cream.

“The Defense Cream was great for the skin as everything healed. Just a dab went a long way.”

The concentrated formula made it easy for Erika to apply a small amount where it was needed as part of Apollo’s ongoing skin-care routine.

Apollo’s Progress

Erika documented Apollo’s progress with photos throughout the process.

Looking back, Erika credits consistent aftercare with helping her successfully manage Apollo’s daily needs throughout the process.

“Apollo’s leg went from swollen, draining, and irritated to completely healed with healthy-looking skin, and I really believe the quality of the aftercare made a huge difference in the final result.”

Most importantly, the products made the day-to-day work easier.

“These products made it so much easier for me to consistently give him that extra level of care throughout his recovery.”

And Erika plans to keep all three products on hand.

“I’m very impressed with all three products and will absolutely keep them stocked for both of my horses.”
