Winter Hoof Problem?

As much as I hate thinking about it Winter really isn't that far away.Every winter my poor horse gets huge chunks of ice stuck in his hoofs and he wobbles around because of it.I go out and pick the ice out but is there a way to keep it out for longer than 10 minutes.What do you do to keep the ice and snow from building up in their hooves? I was thinking about trying those Davis Barrier Boots but I'm sure the snow and ice will build up on the bottom of those to.
Sorry I should have mentioned my horse DOES NOT wear shoes

Get yourself a gallon sized jar of Vaseline, and smear or paint it on your horse's hooves. It's water repellent, and it also has the added advantage of being a moisturizer for the feet, and will help keep them soft. That should stop the snow from building up in them. I agree the horse should go shoeless, unless there is a valid reason for him to have shoes in the winter ( such as his being shown, for example) but please, be smart and DON'T USE something like WD-40 on your horse. WD-40 is made from petroleum distillates,which can make your horse ill when absorbed through the skin in large quanities. The same thing is true of motor oil, which contains compounds which can cause cancer in both horses and people because of long term exposure.

I have never tried the PAM cooking spray on a horse, but that also might work.

I hope this helps.
