The Keratex Hoof Hardener is a gentle acting formulation which forms additional intermolecular bonds between molecules of keratin through the process of cross-linking. This hoof hardener for horses contains keratin, which is the main protein constituent of the horn and is best described as the building block of the horn structure. This equine hoof hardener helps maintain the hoof's moisture levels, which results in a reduction in shoe loss and abscesses.
