Overview
Tough as nails, the Keratex Hoof Hardener strengthens and protects hooves with or without shoes. It prevents cracks and breakage so that shoes stay on tight, and horses remain sound.

Comments: This stuff is the real deal. It will definitely harden up hooves in just a week or two of every other day application. I am impressed and will be buying again!

Comments: Keratex Hoof Hardener has done a good job of hardening my mare's feet quickly. They were really soft from constant hydrotherapy. I have switched to the Keratex Hoof Gel to keep her soles and frogs hard. Her walls did get a bit TOO hard and brittle. She has very thin walls and soles and I do think that she is less ouchy barefoot than before I started using Keratex products. I recommend their products, especially for the soles and frogs. These products are on my permanent list of things to buy for my girl.
