We're in Tucson where it is really dry and all of our horses get their feet oiled with hoof flex three or four times a week, or as needed. We have a weanling stud colt and is there any reason why we should not use oil on his feet as well?

Thanks. Actually it was my daughter who had the question and I didn't know whether adding oil would ultimately make him prone to dryer than normal feet. I'll tell her she can oil away...
