I started to use the Keratex Hoof Hardener when my one horse (who doesnt wear shoes) started to get brittle feet and tiny cracks started to appear.
A few other people on my hard were using it and when my farrier came out to trim him he recommended it to me but just to use until there was a shown improvement in the feet.
I went along to my local shop and bought a bottle (its not cheap) and started to apply it daily when his feet were dry. The smell is pleasant to start off with and then it gets pungent!
Strengthens poor quality hoof walls so that shoes stay on tight and allows lightly worked horses to remain sound without shoes. It does not produce a surface coating thereby allowing the hoof to breathe and function naturally and works by improving and strengthening the molecular structure of hoofwalls and soles.
A little brush came with the pack I bought but I opted to use a normal hoof oil brush.
After a few a weeks I noticed an improvement and now my farrier checks his feet every time he comes out to be trimmed.
My
horse hasnt worn shoes for about a year so basically his feet were adjusting and Keratex really helped that adjustment.
It takes upto a year for a horse to grow new hooves and Im glad I used Keratex to help this process. Now his hooves look so much better and they arent cracking.
However I wouldnt use Keratex for longer than recommended.
