Hello Angie,

Several years ago I used Venice Turpentine on my newly barefoot horse 
who had tender soles. I used a pint during the summer when it was 
very dry here in San Diego. I was riding the horse mostly at the walk 
and I painted it on 2-3 times a week until the pint was gone in about 
4 weeks. I could not tell any improvement in tenderness while riding.
