Norwegian tar or pine tar? These two vegetable tars have sat side by side in grooming kits for centuries — and for good reason: in the North, Norwegian tar has always protected wooden houses from the rain. The same principle protects the horse's hoof. Our two tars, two uses: the Landes pine tar — 100% vegetable, de-acidified, less than 12% water — the classic choice to sanitize the frog and block out everyday moisture; the Norwegian tar — thicker, more film-forming, for longer-lasting protection and heavily exposed leather. How to use: 1. Clean out and thoroughly dry the frog before application. 2. Apply a thin coat with a brush. 3. Once a week in wet periods; twice if early rot is present. Tar is a protector.
