Keratex Hoof Care

The Keratex® hoof care brand was established in 1990 and remains a family-run business. Their flagship product, Keratex® Hoof Hardener, continues to remain popular today.

Here’s the Keratex® story, “Dr John Irving MBE, PhD, C Eng, Fraes founded the business based on his idea for Hoof Hardener in Wiltshire, UK. He successfully patented the product, and Dr Irving was at the helm of the business until he passed away in 2011. The Keratex range has grown well over the years and still continues to expand with an ever-increasing global network of suppliers. The Keratex Hoofcare product range grows and develops by working through common problems and issues relating to horses’ hooves and finding solutions using experience, science and technical knowledge. Our products are farrier, rider and groom endorsed, and have been in several Olympic forges in the past two decades. We have worked closely with the UK’s Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD), and America’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on our products.”
