Keratex Nail Hole Disinfectant 200mL

$49.95
In Stock

Keratex Nail Hole Disinfectant uses a state of the art penetrating fluid to carry special disinfecting agents into the horn and white line tissue surrounding the nail hole. It should be used to maintain the white line tissue in a healthy condition. Very often the first signs of a problem may be unexplained lameness, which on inspection may reveal cavities under the hoof wall adjacent to old nail holes. This product was developed following requests from farriers and vets to find a disinfecting fluid capable of penetrating old nail holes, and able to permeate through surrounding tissue from the exit hole right through to the entry hole at the base of the hoof wall.

Keratex Hoof Putty 200g
$37.50
In Stock

Keratex Hoof Putty is great for repairing holes in the soles of a horse’s feet, enabling the owner to turn out with confidence after the cavity has been plugged with Hoof Putty.

It is particularly useful when your horse is recovering from an abscess, puncture or hoof separation.

It can be used in the following ways:

To plug a small, uninfected puncture hole after thoroughly disinfecting the area, allowing you to turn out straight away when a poultice is not required

To plug a puncture or hole left behind after an abscess has been cleared and drained, after thoroughly disinfecting the area, when a poultice is required, allowing you to turn out with confidence after the poultice has been removed

Farriers often use it an additional shock absorber and comforter when used between the lily pad and frog in ponies with spring grass related problems.

To use, simply mould the adhesive putty in clean hands and press into the cavity until you have a dense plug for best results. Keratex Hoof Putty is a semi-permanent wax that seals and stabilises hoof separation, plus it prevents grit, mud and debris getting jammed up into the hole and damaging the recovery process. The adhesive filling mixture also disinfects making it the perfect aid to recovery after punctures, abscesses and cavities.

Please note that Putty will be very hard while in the tin, as it sets to hoof type consistency naturally for best results, but will soften in your hands as you mould the shape you require before re-setting once within the hoof. Keeping the tub at room temperature prior to use or warming it gently in a bowl of warm (not very hot) water will also help with extraction of the putty from the tin.

Available in 200gm tin.

Keratex Hoof Hardener 250mL

$69.95
In Stock

Keratex 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.

This product 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. Keratex Hoof Hardener is recommended by vets and farriers worldwide, including Olympic farrier Ian Hughes, and recognized globally within the industry as a leading product in its field.

Keratex Mud Shield Powder

$37.50
In Stock

Keratex Mud Shield Powder is a highly-acclaimed, handy, easy-to-use powder which you puff onto horse’s legs for a cleansing and waterproofing action on legs which are prone to scabs and broken skin in wet and muddy conditions. This light talc will give your horse’s legs a breathable, resilient coat of powder that does not absorb water (and therefore does not become sticky). It also works by making the leg hair so silky that mud cannot grip on to hair or soften the skin underneath. Further to this it will assist the horse’s natural defenses against anything from mud and environmental water (such as muddy puddles and boggy fields) that might get into breaks in the skin and cause problems. This respected product is widely recognized by the equestrian community as a leader in its field.

Keratex Hoof Gel

$29.95 – $49.99
In Stock

Designed for wet weather use, Keratex Hoof Gel forms a protective, waterproof and breathable layer over the hoof, keeping hooves water-tight and preventing them from softening, splitting or breaking up in wet, muddy conditions. By stopping water from saturating the internal structures of the hooves, the hooves have the time, space and correct conditions for the horse to be able to restore hoof quality. So if you find that your horse’s hooves deteriorate, soften, throw shoes or become saturated in wet or humid conditions, apply Keratex Hoof Gel all over the hoof, frog, soles and heels every other day to restore the quality and strength in your horse’s hooves. Hoof Gel absorbs into the hooves and therefore will not ‘come off’ in the field whatever the conditions. Once the product has absorbed into the hooves you will see that water forms droplets that simply roll off the hooves like rain off a waxed jacket or water off a duck’s back.

Good for:
• Hooves that have softened in wet conditions
• Horses prone to hoof crumble, weakness, breakage, punctures and cavities in the foot and sole
• Stabled horses or horses that suffer from hoof deterioration during wet weather

Available in 500ml and 1L bottles.

Keratex Cooling Gel 1L

$37.50
In Stock

Keratex Cooling Gel is the perfect way to cool your horse’s legs after exercise. It is also an effective way of helping horses on box rest, or during periods of travel.

Warm legs are more flexible on the inside and this can lead to pulled tendons and damaged ligaments so this cooling gel is a great way of keeping your horse’s legs cool during or after exercise, stabling or travel. Unlike other cooling gels in the market, Keratex Cooling Gel actually cools by evaporation, making it extra effective and completely unique in the way that it works.

Keratex Cooling Gel does not contain menthol or camphor. Contains ethanol.
