Not a damaging oil, but a powerful hydrophobic treatment that leaves the hoof glistening dry.<br />&nbsp;</font> </p> </li> <li><p align="left"><font size="2">While Keratex Hoof Hardener repairs damage to the hoof horn's molecular structure caused by water and ammonia, Keratex Hoof Gel quite simply stops the damage from happening in the first place.<br /><br /></font></p> </li> <li><p align="left"><font size="2">Keratex Hoof Gel protects hooves from damage caused by manure, urine and excess water absorption.<br /><br /></font></p> </li> <li><p align="left"><font size="2">Keratex Hoof Gel allows the hoof to breathe. Air can pass freely through Keratex Hoof Gel in either direction and excess moisture can be expelled from the hoof. No water or typical chemicals can enter the hoof from the outside.</font> </p> </li> </ul> <p><font size="2">Most problems resulting in hooves cracking and losing shoes are caused by the effects of water and ammonia. Keratex Hoof Gel protects the whole hoof capsule by providing a barrier against adverse environmental influences acting on the integrity of hoof horn.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Normal hoof oils and greases offer little protection against environmental damage. Once they come in contact with ammonia from urine, they become water soluble emulsions which are quickly washed off, allowing both water and ammonia to permeate the horn.</font></p> <p><font size="2">To maintain a healthy hoof capsule, Keratex Hoof Gel allows the horn to breathe. This means that air can pass freely through Keratex Hoof Gel in either direction and excess moisture can be expelled from the hoof, but no water or chemicals can enter the hoof from outside, The function is much the same as semi-permeable cloth used for outdoor clothing, which allows moisture out, but prevents rain from getting in.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Horn does not need extra moisture from external sources as the hoof capsule will take care of that naturally from inside. Constant changes in the moisture content of the hoof will result in cracking during the Summer.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Used as a standard hoof treatment throughout the year, Keratex Hoof Gel will maintain the moisture content of the hoof at the same natural level, rain or shine, Summer or Winter, turned out or stabled in. This is the answer to maintaining hooves in a healthy condition throughout the year. Hooves will naturally become stronger, harder and more able to resist the stresses of shoeing and work.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Because of the waterproofing effect, hooves are easier to clean and dry. Keratex Hoof Gel also contains a natural disinfectant to maintain hooves in a healthy condition.</font></p> <p><font size="2">Keratex Hoof Gel will help prevent snowballing if applied regularly to the sole and frog and immediately before going in the snow.</font></p> <p><font size="2">If you are showing or going to an event, all you need to do is apply Keratex Hoof Gel, let it dry, and then buff it with a cloth to have a super natural sheen on the hooves. Keratex Hoof Gel does not attract bedding, grass and dust in the same way as grease and oil type hoof dressings.&nbsp;</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#0000ff" size="2"><b><i>User Notes&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp; Sold in 1 liter and 500 ml plastic bottles</i></b></font></p> </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Category25" TITLE="Hoof Care">Hoof Care</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product415 TITLE="Animalintex Hoof Poultice">Animalintex Hoof Poultice</A> -- hot or cold poultice <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product458 TITLE="Barefoot Sculptor">Barefoot Sculptor</A> -- New rasp....easy trim! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product488 TITLE="Barefoot Sculptor Replacement Rasp">Barefoot Sculptor Replacement Rasp</A> -- Replacement rasp <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product470 TITLE="Easy Care Hoof Pick">Easy Care Hoof Pick</A> -- Strong and Magnetic! <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product484 TITLE="Keratex Hoof Hardner">Keratex Hoof Hardner</A> -- strengthens, hardens, protects hooves <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product486 TITLE="Keratex Hoof Putty">Keratex Hoof Putty</A> -- great for abscesses <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product483 TITLE="Keratex Mud Shield Powder">Keratex Mud Shield Powder</A> -- Protect against the effects of mud and water <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product548 TITLE="RidersRasp">RidersRasp</A> -- keep hooves balanced between trimmings <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product549 TITLE="RidersRasp Replacement Blades">RidersRasp Replacement Blades</A> -- replace dull blades <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product414 TITLE="Sole Pack">Sole Pack</A> -- single pad poultice <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product413 TITLE="Sore No More - The Sauce">Sore No More - The Sauce</A> -- treat thrush and more <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product368 TITLE="Thrush XX">Thrush XX</A> -- clears up thrush fast <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/slypner/Product469 TITLE="Ultimate Hoof Pick">Ultimate Hoof Pick</A> -- The Jackhammer! </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/slypner" TITLE="SlypnerGear.com Products">SlypnerGear.com Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.slypnergear.com">SlypnerGear.com</A> <BR>SlypnerGear.com <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
