Lincoln Witch Hazel & Arnica Gel

Keratex Hoof Hardener is a specialized product designed to strengthen and harden the hooves of horses. It is particularly beneficial for horses with soft, weak, or thin hooves that are prone to cracking, chipping, or other issues.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Strengthens Hooves: Keratex Hoof Hardener helps to strengthen and harden the hoof wall, improving its durability and resistance to damage.
• Reduces Cracking and Chipping: By increasing the hardness of the hoof, it helps prevent common problems such as cracks and chips, which can be exacerbated by wet or muddy conditions.
• Improves Hoof Quality: Regular use can contribute to overall better hoof quality and health, supporting the growth of stronger and more resilient hooves.
• Quick-Drying Formula: The hardener typically dries quickly upon application, allowing for efficient use and minimal disruption to the horse’s routine.

How to Use:

1. Clean the Hoof: Ensure the hoof is clean and dry before application. Remove any dirt, debris, or loose material from the hoof.
2. Apply the Hardener: Apply Keratex Hoof Hardener to the entire hoof wall, including the coronary band if necessary. Use a brush or applicator to spread it evenly.
3. Allow to Dry: Let the product dry completely before the horse is turned out or before applying additional products. This ensures that the hardener can effectively bond with the hoof.
4. Reapply as Needed: Depending on the condition of the hoof and environmental factors, you may need to reapply the hardener weekly or as directed.

When to Use:

• Soft or Weak Hooves: Use for horses with soft, weak, or thin hooves that require additional strengthening and protection.
• Preventive Maintenance: Apply as part of a regular hoof care routine to help prevent issues related to hoof strength and durability.
• After Hoof Care: Use following trimming or shoeing to enhance the hoof's resilience and recovery.

Tips for Best Results:

• Consistent Application: Regular application is important for maintaining hoof strength and preventing problems.
• Avoid Over-Application: Apply a thin, even layer to avoid excess buildup, which can lead to undesirable effects or interference with the hoof’s natural functions.
• Combine with Other Care: Use in conjunction with other hoof care products, such as moisturizers or conditioners, for comprehensive hoof health.

Keratex Hoof Hardener is a valuable product for improving hoof strength and durability, especially for horses that face challenging conditions or have naturally soft hooves. Its ability to enhance hoof resilience and prevent damage makes it a popular choice among horse owners and farriers.
