That's where Keratex washes & scrubs come into play — tough on germs, gentle on your horse, and backed by science.
In this guide, we'll take you through the most effective Keratex products, share a few grooming tips, and help you decide what’s best for your horse’s unique needs. Plus, we’ll show you where to find them — fast, reliable delivery included.
Why Keratex washes belong in your grooming kit
protection that lasts beyond the scrub
Not all equestrian scrubs are created equal. Some products stop working the moment you rinse them off. But Keratex washes are designed for lasting performance — thanks to their clever anti-microbial technology. Take the Keratex Medicated Hoof & Leg Scrub, for example.
This potent yet gentle scrub is armed with Byotrol™ anti-microbial tech, which keeps on fighting germs even after application. It’s ideal for conditions like mud fever, minor wounds, and cracked hooves. Just sponge or scrub it on and let it work overnight — no need for complicated regimens or drying rituals.
Fun fact: The Byotrol technology used in this scrub has been clinically proven to reduce harmful microorganisms by up to 99.9% and continues working for hours after use. In horse terms, that's peace of mind while your steed enjoys their muddy gallops.
Perfect for post-ride recovery and daily use
If your horse is prone to irritation, fungal flare-ups, or just comes back looking like they’ve rolled in a swamp (because they probably have), this scrub deserves a spot in your routine. The waterproof formula means it doesn’t wash away with the next puddle — it stays active even in wet, muddy environments.
Whether you’re on a sunny hack or dealing with a November mudslide, these washes help keep your horse’s skin barrier intact — crucial for avoiding common issues like scratches, rain scald, and pastern dermatitis.
Targeted solutions for tricky conditions
keeping frogs fresh — no, not that kind
The word "frog" in the equestrian world doesn’t involve lily pads. It's that vulnerable part of the hoof that’s often overlooked — until it becomes a problem. And if you’ve ever dealt with a soggy, foul-smelling frog, you know exactly why a product like Keratex Frog Disinfectant exists.
Specially formulated for wet, boggy conditions and extended stabling, this disinfectant helps tackle frog rot before it becomes a serious issue. It acts quickly to cleanse, dry, and restore the area, preventing over-saturation and helping maintain a healthy hoof environment.
Combine it with regular picking and airing out your horse’s feet, and you’ll be way ahead of the seasonal frog problem curve.
The mud warrior: Keratex mud shield powder
Let’s face it: mud is public enemy number one for most horse owners. If your winter turnout looks more like a swamp, you’ll want the Keratex Mud Shield Powder in your toolkit.
This product is a lifesaver for horses prone to mud fever or sensitive skin. The formula disinfects while creating a water-repellent barrier that stops mud and bacteria from sticking to your horse’s legs. Simply puff it onto clean, dry skin and let it work its magic.
It's a bestseller at Just Horse Riders for good reason — the powder repels moisture while soothing the skin, making cleanup easier and reducing the risk of skin breakdown.
