Does anyone make their own horse products using beeswax? The big things here ATM are beeswax-based hoof balls and greases (mixing wax with copper sulphate for WLD / seedy toe etc), wound wax (manuka honey, beeswax), and saddle conditioner.
Anyone had a go at this before? We are coming into our wet season so I just had a crack at making “blue balls” to plug up cracks.
I make my own leather balm with beeswax, shea butter, and sweet almond oil.
Would you mind sharing your recipe?
1 part shea butter : 1 part almond oil : 2 part beeswax
shea butter : almond oil : beeswax
part = whatever UOM you want to use. Ounce, cup, etc.
More oil, less beeswax if you like it softer. More beeswax, less oil if you like it firmer.
ex.
1 : 1.5 : 1.5
or
1 : 0.5 : 2.5
Thanks!
