Keratex Hoof Hardener
Hoof Hardener formula is patented and includes a unique flexibility agent as well as a hardening agent, making this the perfect product to protect your horse from: brittle, cracked, soft or weak hooves; soft, sensitive or thin soles; repeated shoe loss; transition to barefoot; hoof damage.
Hoof Hardener will strengthen and protect shod and unshod hooves, to restore soundness after sensitive soles and to prevent existing cracks from laddering up or across the hooves.
It works by cross-linking the keratins and proteins within the internal structures of the hooves, making hooves stronger from the inside out. Because it absorbs into the hooves, it will not ‘come off’ in the field, it will continue to work within the hoof whatever the weather and whatever the field conditions.
Since it first became available to horse owners in 1990 as the first product of its kind, Keratex Hoof Hardener has shown to improve hoof quality. Hoof Hardener is recommended by vets and farriers worldwide, including Olympic farrier Ian Hughes.
Voted Product of the Year and Editor’s Choice on several occasions by the USA’s most prestigious US equestrian publication, Horse Journal, this highly acclaimed product is frequently featured in many of the world’s equestrian media. It is recognised globally within the industry, farriers and vets as a leading product in its field.
About
Keratex Hoofcare is a family-run business which began with the creation of our flagship product, Keratex Hoof Hardener, in 1990.
Dr John Irving MBE, PhD, C Eng, Fraes founded the business based on his idea for Hoof Hardener in Wiltshire, UK.
He successfully patented the product, and Dr Irving was at the helm of the business until he passed away in 2011. The Keratex range has grown well over the years and still continues to expand with an ever-increasing global network of suppliers.
The Keratex Hoofcare product range grows and develops by working through common problems and issues relating to horses’ hooves and finding solutions using experience, science and technical knowledge.
Our products are farrier, rider and groom endorsed, and have been in several Olympic forges in the past two decades. We have worked closely with the UK’s Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD), and America’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on our products.
