Rain Maker
Farnam Companies, Inc.
- Item #13483
- Item #13483
As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just use the pre-paid return label included in your order within 60 days from the purchase date. And of course, please make sure the item is in like-new condition with original packaging (we said 'fitting room', not 'war room'!).
Why We Love This
The Rain Maker formula leaves hooves strong and pliable, while enhancing color and sheen. Special natural ingredients are combined to give Rain Maker hoof moisturizer its unique "Triple Action" formula: attracts moisture to the hoof, increases moisture absorption, and retains moisture once it has been absorbed. Rain Maker penetrates deep to improve texture and elasticity.

Rain Maker is rated out of 5 by 45.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rafatoo from great product but the container/brush needs though This has always been a great product, I usually avoid getting it though because I really dislike trying to get the product our of the container with the brush. I tried the product again because of our dry weather/dry hooves. I still hate the applicator can. I think I will scoop it all out and just use a plastic food container with a paint brush!

Rated 5 out of 5 by chalat from Great product! I bought this product a little over a month ago and I am so happy with it. My gelding's hooves are no longer dry. I absolutely LOVE that this is safe to put on the coronet band, as most other hoof products shouldn't be. Great product, I'm very happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Annie from My Absolute Favorite Hoof Treatment! I've been using Rain Maker for as long as I can remember, at first just because it's what everyone else was using, but once I had horses of my own (and was buying more grooming supplies) I really started to appreciate it. My current horse has pretty solid feet, but like any horse, his hooves are still prone to vertical cracks: I use Rain Maker a few times a week for regular maintenance, and it's worked like a charm. Keeps my guy's hooves pliant and looking pretty!I've found it to be a great value for the price too. The only really comparable product, in terms of ingredients, is Hooflex, which costs about 10 cents more per ounce, and doesn't include aloe or natural proteins as does Rain Maker!My ONLY complaint about Rain Maker is the consistency. It gets very thick and sticky in cold weather, and is difficult get the last bit of dressing out of the can, as it sticks to the bottom and sides. I usually just cut it with water or a small amount of rubbing alcohol, but it is definitely a bit of a pain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LKCegalis from Great Product I have purchased it for many years - I like how easy it is to paint on and how thick it is...doesn't evaporate in the heat or harden in the cold.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Epona from Works well Works well and doesn't make the hooves too moist. Pretty easy to use too. It is harder to use when it's cold- so I try to keep it in a heated area during the winter. I think it works better than Hooflex.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kalefan from Very Effective for Dry Hooves Between stomping from flies and very dry weather, my horse's feet have been extremely dry, hooves proned to cracking (no shoes). I put Rainmaker on twice a day to help his feet between farrier visits. This product does the job and his feet show the difference, they are visibly moisturized and do not crack as easily. This product smells like BBQ sauce, but it works!

Rated 5 out of 5 by tuna from My Farrier's Go-to product I've used Rain Maker on the advice of my farrier for several years. It, and judicious rasping of messy edges, keeps my barefoot guys in sound hooves during our dry summers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by buddyboo5 from Conflicted... I like Rain Maker and I don't.Pros: great hoof sealer before a bath, I think it smells good, easy to applyCons: pricy, stains clothing, inconsistent consistency (hard paste in the winter, liquid in the summer), makes hooves gunky if used dailyI used to use it daily, but my horses hooves got gross (like to the point where I didn't even want to pick them up to clean them!). I now use it maybe once a month if I run out of my other stuff or if I give him a bath.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hobbers81 from Great hoof product Rain Maker leaves my TB's hooves looking good for days after just one application. They were looking dry, and even though my ferrier said they were fine I wanted to give this a shot and I'm glad I did - his feet just look healthier now. And you don't need to use a lot so the container should last a while, definitely worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChelseaG16 from My favorite hoof moisturizer I have tried alot of hoof balms and this one is my favorite for its value and effectiveness. Living in Florida, sand cracks are always an issue, especially with my barefoot horses, and this really pack on the moisture, plus it lasts along time too (I can have a bottle last 6 months on one horse and that's applying several times a week!). I recommend wetting the hooves before application as it helps lock in the extra moisture.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Someone from Great Stuff! My horse has always had healthy feet, but on occasion they chip or crack. I started using rain maker (once or twice a week) and his feet are healthier than ever, never crack, and never chip! I stopped shoeing him and just keep him barefoot now! It is a little pricey, but it definitely can save you money! To bad some gets stuck at the bottom and you can't get it all out... But a can lasts a long long time!

Rated 4 out of 5 by HunterEqRider from Too Much like Jelly The consistency changes depending on the weather. It does do a good job of protecting hooves though. I just don't like how it gets so jelly-like, once you have used most of it it sticks to the bottom of the jar.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Alaina from I've used this dressing on my horse's bulbs and underside of their feet when the weather is really hot and dry. It seems to protect and moisturize from dryness and cracking, preventing existing chips from getting worse. I like to apply it right after riding and untacking, giving the feet about 10-15 minutes to soak up the hoof dressing before walking back to her stall (which by that point prevents it from just coming off with the dirt when she walks). I would probably recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Djnadeau from Only thing I use on my horse's hooves I like to put this on in the spring and fall during the "muddy season" since my horse's feet dry out the most then. I like to put it on and let is soak in for 10-15 minutes before I let him get shavings all over it in his stall. It works well to put it on before giving them a bath because then it sticks and doesn't wash off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Samiannes Mom from Best product for a horse pedicure! We use this on our horses hoofs to help keep them healthy. It has helped with cracks and dryness of their hoofs and our farrier was impressed with the results.

Rated 2 out of 5 by StarbucksGal from Some like it, I don't. I know a lot of people at the barn who use this, but I have recently given mine away and switched to another hoof conditioner. Rain Maker does do a good job of keeping your horse's hooves from getting soaked during bathing, but I found that it tends to leave a layer of buildup if used daily. The smell is terrible - I call it bad barbeque sauce. The consistency also changes greatly with the weather, and in the summer it can get so thin that it drips everywhere.I guess that it is fine for occasional use to protect feet in the wash stall, but I switched to a product that does not contain animal proteins.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jewell from Wonderful Hoofs!! Rain Maker is thick enough to apply just where you want it yet thin enough where it doesnt cake on heavy. The heat for the hoof softens this product so I feel I'm not wasting it as the oils tend to spill. Stays put turned out better then any other so I know it has a chance to do its job!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Wend from Tried and True You can try cheaper hoof conditioners, but you'll always end up coming back to Rain Maker if your horse suffers from dry, cracked and hard hooves. One application lasts for days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by obimom from have used this since owning my 2nd horse I've used this brand since 1993 ~ once I purchased Hoofmaker instead and regreted it ~ I prefer RainMaker as it contains tar and seems to soak into the outer hoof wall better

Rated 5 out of 5 by zacklyright from Favorite hoof conditioner I love rain maker! Easy to apply, and keeps my horse's feet in great condition. But, it gets a little hard in the winter if it's kept in the cold (obviously), and, unfortunately the brush doesn't reach the bottom of the can! Regardless, this is my favorite! Much better than others I have tried!

Rated 5 out of 5 by rkxk from Love it! I always use Rainmaker on my mare. It is thicker than the other brands, and stays on longer. She always gets compliments from my farrier on her great feet! My ONLY complaint is they don't make the brush long enough, so you can never get it all out of the can!
