light-iconTips to keep the cold out of your tools.

Your tools need to be in top condition to perform when the temperature drops. Cold weather can put extra strain on your equipment, making it harder to work efficiently. Take the time to inspect, clean, and maintain your tools to ensure they’re up for the challenge.
A few helpful tips:

Use the 3M Grip Tape on the handle of your tools. Not only offers it better grip and cushions the impact of hammer blows, it also ensures your handle feels comfortable and secure, even when your hands are wet and cold.

To keep the warmth of your forge going, make sure your insulation is in top shape. Replace it in time to ensure your oven stays efficient... and provide you that handy little heater to warm yourself up.

Vettec products work best between 15 °C and 25 °C. Keeping them at the right temperature means you won't waste time or struggle to distribute the product properly and get it to work. The Vettec Thermobox is the perfect solution for this, as it ensures that every padding material and adhesive performs optimally. 
 
Let your tools work for you, so make sure they’ are winter-ready too.

Stay Warm. Stay Strong. Battle the cold with an outfit that works.

When you're properly equipped, the cold has no part in your work. Warm base layers are a must, but don't forget a sturdy winter apron that allows you to move freely and protects you. Sturdy, weatherproof safety footwear is essential for keeping your feet safe, dry and warm, no matter how harsh the conditions. And with a reliable pair of safety gloves, your hands will be protected from both the cold and the work, so you can stay focused and energetic all day long.

Dressing for winter isn't just about staying warm, it's also about staying strong.

Keep the horse and its hooves in top condition. Don't let the cold get to them.

Winter walks through the snow or enjoying a ride through the winter forest – whatever the adventure, your horse's hooves need special attention to stay strong and healthy. From extra basic hoof care to the right pads or studs, every horse has its own unique winter needs. Be prepared with all the necessary materials so that you can always put their safety and well-being first.

Prepared hooves, safe rides... make winter hoofcare a priority for each horse.
