Firstly the picture is wrong - this is a picture of saddle soap not the hoof oil which is liquid and comes in a tin container.
This product has been going for many years at least 30 and is the traditional style hoof oil and that is why I prefer it. Many of the modern versions are solid so quite hard to apply and very expensive.
This is made from vegetable oils and you can get it in two colours black and natural. I have natural. Its cheap at about £4 a tin and it last for several months or more if you dont use it every day - I don't I use it about once a week, more in the summer if I am going to competitions and when its hot and his hooves get a bit dry.
If you buy it if you do not already have one you will need to buy a brush to apply it you can use a small paint brush or buy a hoof oil brush from the tack shop neither of which are expensive.
The hoof oil makes my horses hooves look smart and conditions them too. It is very easy to apply and proof you do not need to spend lots of money on a modern product to get good results.
The only disadvantage is if you knock it over when the lid is off it will make a big oily mess which would not happen with the solid versions
