When it comes to hoof care, horse owners know that prevention is key—but sometimes, life (and mud, and rocky terrain) happens. That’s where Keratex hoof repair steps in like a farrier on a mission. Whether you're prepping for a competition or just trying to avoid another costly vet visit, hoof repair products are your new best friend. Today, we’re diving deep into the world of cracked hooves, missing horn, and what makes Keratex a stable name in equestrian circles.
Why hoof damage happens—and how to fix it
the daily grind (literally) on your horse’s hooves
Think about what your horse’s hooves go through: mud, gravel, concrete, dry spells, wet spells, and the occasional dramatic escape from the field. All of this takes a toll. Hoof cracks and damage are common, especially in summer or after heavy rainfall, when hooves swell and shrink like a pair of leather boots. These changes can lead to cracks, chips, or worse.
For performance horses or those in heavy training, the risks go up. Research suggests that around 85% of equine lameness originates in the feet—yes, that’s a staggering number and a good reason not to skip your hoof care routine.
The Keratex 3P Hoof Repair kit is perfect for this. It’s like a hoof-first aid kit that helps replace missing horn and repair cracks with ease. Simply clean and dry the hoof, mix the paste, and apply using the included spatula. In just 10–15 minutes, you're back in business. Ideal for professional use and confident DIYers, this product really shines when time and performance matter.
Practical hoof care with Keratex products
cosmetic vs. structural—know what your horse needs
Not all cracks are created equal. Some are just superficial blemishes that make your horse’s feet look like they’ve been moonlighting as pavement grinders. For those, Keratex Cosmetic Hoof Filler is the go-to solution.
This easy-to-apply paste hides unsightly but harmless hoof blemishes, restoring a clean, polished look. It also helps to keep the area sealed from dirt and germs. Think of it like concealer, but for hooves—and honestly, your horse deserves to look fabulous, too.
hoof holes? put a plug in it (literally)
If your horse has dealt with an abscess, puncture wound, or separation, you know how crucial post-recovery care can be. Keratex Hoof Putty is a lifesaver here.
This clever product fills hoof holes and doubles as a shock absorber for horses struggling with spring grass sensitivity. It’s also FEI- and Jockey Club-safe, so you won’t be breaking any rules while patching up those feet.
Each of these products lives in the Keratex collection and can be found easily via our dedicated hoof care section.
