Hoof Guard is a clear, high-performance, Kevlar®-reinforced, alcohol-based, sealant designed to strengthen, protect, and repair horse hooves, preventing cracks and sealing nail holes. It helps maintain natural moisture to prevent brittleness, provides UV protection against sun damage, and delivers a shiny, durable finish that won't easily wash off.
Key Features & Benefits Strengthens and Protects: Formulated with Kevlar® Aramid Fiber (same as bulletproof vests) to enhance durability, reduce abrasive wear, and prevent quarter cracks. Moisture Management: Seals in natural moisture to prevent dry/brittle, while keeping out excess moisture to prevent soft/mushy feet. UV Protection: Guards against sun bleaching and surface cracking. Repairs Damage: Fills nail holes and seals minor cracks, providing a barrier against bacteria. Durable Formula: A clear, shiny, alcohol-based sealant (non-acetone) that resists wearing off, suitable for all climates.
Application Details Usage: Applied to the exterior hoof wall, generally after cleaning and using a prep product like Kera Prep. Finish: Produces a "show-quality" shine. Packaging: Available in 16-oz applicator bottles and 32-oz refill bottles.
Recommendation: Frequently used by farriers and trainers to maintain active or weak-hooved horses. Hoof Guard is often described as a crucial tool for repairing under-slung heels and maintaining overall, long-term hoof integrity.
