Keratex Hoof Gel

Description

Keratex Hoof Gel
Most problems resulting in hooves cracking and losing shoes are caused by the effects of water and ammonia. Keratex Hoof Gel protects the whole hoof capsule by providing a barrier against adverse environmental influences acting on the integrity of hoof horn.  To maintain a healthy hoof capsule, Keratex Hoof Gel allows the horn to breathe and allows excess moisture to be expelled from the hoof, but does not allow water or chemicals to enter the hoof from outside.
Used as a standard hoof treatment throughout the year, Keratex Hoof Gel will maintain the moisture content of the hoof at the same natural level, no matter the weather or season, or if turned out or stabled in. Hooves will naturally become stronger, harder and more able to resist the stresses of shoeing and work.
If you are showing or going to an event, all you need to do is apply Keratex Hoof Gel, let it dry, and then buff it with a cloth to have a
great natural sheen on the hooves. It
does not attract bedding, grass and dust in the same way as grease and oil type hoof dressings.
