“The Belebro way” for supporting healthy hoofs
Result achieved with our method called “The Belebro Way”
Learn more about this method underneath the pictures of the hoof with the white line disease (loose hoof wall).
The Belebro Way hoof care is a method that uses a combination of, nutrition, exercise balance, lowering stress levels and Belebro Hoof Gel.
This method, The Belebro Way, promotes the healing process and helps the hooves recover.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in hoof health. Horses need a balanced diet to ensure healthy hoof growth. It is important to ensure adequate protein, vitamins and minerals in the horse’s diet.
Balanced exercise is an important factor in healthy hoof growth and development. Horses should get regular enough exercise so that the hoof mechanism (“the blood pump”) is stimulated regularly in a day which improves blood flow to the hooves. Regular exercise makes the hooves stronger. A Belebro horse-exerciser is an excellent tool to give the horses extra movement without stress (because of the way the horse-walkers are designed).
Stress has a negative impact on horses hoof health. It is important to provide a stress-free environment for the horse. This can be achieved by ensuring adequate exercise and distraction, and by limiting unnecessary stressors.
Finally, using Belebro Hoof Gel can help speed up the recovery process. Belebro Hoof Gel can be used to nourish and protect the hooves from outside influences which can help reduce discomfort and promote the recovery process.

Belebro Horsewalkers & Horse-exercisers
The most appropriate instrument to give horses a lot of good exercise is the horse exerciser in which the horses run without being tethered.
BELEBRO, specialist with the most experience!
Since 1986
The horse exerciser is an invention of Belebro. The Belebro model guarantees the most balanced construction, the least load, the least wear and tear and the greatest safety for the horses. The design is registered and internationally protected by law (WIPO no. DM/018398, 21 Dec. 1990).
Five factors can be trained that, according to research by the Research Station for Horse Husbandry in Lelystad, determine the performance:
Character: focused tempo training, whereby horses sometimes go to their utmost.
Quality of the legs: short and intense stimuli (interval training) improves bone tissue.
Coordination: by applying alternating movements at different speeds.
Flexibility: less stiffness
Reflexes: improvement to a great extent: considerably less risk of injury.
Results
Research at the Testing Station for Horse Husbandry profession in Lelystad, the Netherlands, has shown that nutrients and exercise are the two factors that have the most influence on horses’ health and especially the quality of the legs.
- Better muscle development, especially the back muscles
- Higher performance
- Fewer colic cases
- Fewer leg problems
- Fewer injuries
- Less risk of atactic abnormalities (walking freely)
- Reduction risk Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD) 60%
- Reducing the risk of osteoarthritis
Terms
Stress-free walking is the precondition for achieving the intended results with a Horse exerciser. Horses must become familiar with the exerciser in the right way, so that they move relaxed (‘over the back’) in the horse exerciser.
The horse exercise, fence, soil and environment are decisive factors for this. Good hooves are also essential for the proper functioning of organs and the musculoskeletal system as a whole (joints, muscles and tendons in legs, back, neck).
The Belebro Way for supporting healthy tendons
Result achieved with our method called “The Belebro Way”
The Belebro Way tendon care is new method that uses a combination of vibration training, the Belebro Tendon Gel and guidance from a veterinarian. This method promotes the healing process and helps tendons recover.
Water is also an important part of the healing process. Drinking enough water can help reduce inflammation and promote the healing process. Water can also help reduce muscle cramps and improve mobility.
Nutrition plays an important role in healing tendons. It is important to follow a diet rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals. Proteins are especially important because they are the building blocks of tissues, including tendons. Tendons also need vitamin C to produce collagen, which is needed for tendon tissue repair.
Exercise is important to help tendons recover, but it is also important to be careful to prevent further damage. Performing light exercise and special injury-focused exercises improves tendon blood flow and will speed up the recovery process. For this, following the veterinarian’s advice is important. Vibration traing is a relatively new approach to help to tendon repair. Vibrations improve blood flow and increase tendon flexibility. It can also help reduce inflammation and reduce pain. There are different ways to support a tendon with vibration. You van use a Vibefloor for Whole body vibration training or you can vibrate locally with an Ice Vibe.
Balance is an important factor in preventing tendon injuries and promoting the healing process. Performing exercises to improve balance can help reduce strain on tendons and promote healthy posture and movement.
Finally, using the Belebro Tendon Gel can help speed up the recovery process. The Belebro Tendon Gel can be used to hydrate and nourish the tendons, which can help reduce pain and promote the recovery process.
All in all, a combination of nutrition, water, exercise, balance, tendon gel and veterinarian guidance helps tendons to heal. It is important to be patient and provide proper care to promote a full recovery. Always consult a veterinarian for advice, guidance and treatment of tendon injuries.

How to use Hoof Gel Belebro?
If you didn’t hear from us through your local farrier or veterinarian, you might want some extra information on how to use our gels. We are happy to explain. By following our tips, you’ll most likely find out gels are easy to use. Don’t worry if the answer you’re looking for isn’t down below our customer service will be happy to assist. Just click the link and send in your question.
First things first: Why is our gel so sticky?
Let’s be honest: as soon as you open the can, we all have the same burning question: why must it be so sticky?
It has two main reasons. First, we need all the nutrients in all in the right places. The sticky base ensures all ingredients can absorb to their highest potential.
Second, horses generally walk in challenging environments. Mud, rain, snow, or maybe excessive sun are on a daily bases for most horses. The stickiness makes the gel resistant to all weather conditions. Once applied, it stays on for 2-3 days.
Shaving does the trick
It may sound weird at first, but shaving is the golden trick. We always advise shaving the area you want to apply the gel. Not only is it cleaner to shave, but it also benefits the absorption of the active nutrients in the gel. If you don’t shave, the gel doesn’t reach its full potential due to the stiffness of the horsehair.
When using our Belebro Hoof Gel we advise shaving 2-3 centimeters starting from the hoof coronet up.
Please keep in mind to always use a shaver specially made for horses. As said, horsehair is very stiff, so don’t try to shave with a human shaver. Don’t worry if you don’t have a suitable one yourself. Almost any stable has one, so there’s a big chance your stablemate has one to borrow.
Keep things clean
- Please use (plastic) gloves or any spatula of your choice when applying the gel. It assures you can use your phone afterward without slipping through your fingers. Also, please note messing can make smooth surfaces extra slippery, and it could leave stains on certain types of clothes.
- Always stir Hoof Gel Belebro before using it to get the best results.
Last but not least
Once you’ve followed the steps described above, you are ready to apply our gel. Don’t be sparing and message the gel well onto the skin. For active use, we advise applying our Belebro Hoof Gel 1-2 times a week on the hoof coronet en just above. For maintenance, apply once every one or two weeks.
To shortly summarize:
- Shave
- Use gloves or a spatula of choice
- Stir before use
- Apply 1-2 times a week
