Keratex Hoof Hardener is used to strengthen and protect both shod and unshod hooves in horses, cattle, sheep and goats. It strengthens weak, cracked hooves by improving the molecular structure of the hoof wall and soles. Keratex Hoof Hardener prevents the horn from taking in excess moisture, making it resistant to softening and weakening, which helps reduce shoe loss and abscesses. Since Keratex Hoof Hardener is not an oil or resin layer, it does not seal the hoof and allows the hoof to breathe and function naturally. Supplied as a 250 ml bottle.

Is this hoof hardener for the outside hoof only or can it go on the soul too?

Asked by: Sgon
Hello! Thank you for your inquiry, Keratex Hoof Hardener can be applied to the sole as well as the hoof wall. Be sure to avoid the frog, the bulbs of the heel and the coronary band.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Product We've Found for Hardening HoovesWe live in Central Florida where it can go from dry to wet in a matter of hours after a heavy storm. Also, we have 2 horses that love to play in our pond so their hooves are always subject to water intrusion. We use this product on those 2 horses every time we ride and it has helped prevent the abscesses they used to get. We are sure to keep a supply of this on hand. We are pleased with the results from the full line of the Keratex products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very useful for off track Thoroughbreds feet!This is a must have product in my grooming box for working with off track Thoroughbreds! Within a week of using this product I can cut back to using it just once or twice a week and within a month, their feet are looking so much better! No more peeling/shelly/thin hooves! Great product to use in transitioning from a horse wearing shoes to going barefoot as well. I highly recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing price and product!This is my go to product for transitioning horses to being barefoot or even if they just need a break from wearing shoes for a bit. I have been amazed with the results I've seen in using this product in as little as 3 weeks. Definite improvement and a little goes a long way. I always have a bottle of this stuff on my grooming shelf and will never be without it. Great price here and can always expect super fast shipping from Santa Cruz Animal Health.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Seeing ResultsI've been noticing with few horses in our barn with this product. This is a great product! They used to pull shoes constantly and with use of this product, they have been able to keep their shoes for the whole cycle in muddy conditions! Great for wet seasons and to also improve overall condition of the hoof, in my opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Long crackMy guy had a long cracks in his front hooves, I tried so many things all to no avail. I started him on Keratex on a friends recommendation and wow. In just 3 months we have gained really nice strong hard hooves and the new growth looks wonderful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product!This product really works to help maintain our horses hooves. We have some that chip easily and we don't like to put shoes on them. This product helps us to allow our horses to go barefoot, even during the show season.
