bad feet??

[Chestersmummy]

I had the farrier out to both of my tb's and they have reccommended I put them both on pro feet and use keratex to help harden their feet.
Will this work?

Haven't looked at pro feet. Keratex is a good product and us breatha so won't damage hoof wall.
Diet and a balanced trim are the most important things. X

Feeding for good condition of hooves is essential, I believe a lot of barefooters feed magnesium to strengthen hooves. Keratex is fab but I wouldn't use as per instructions, once a week max for me. Never let it get on the band, frog or heel. Pop it on the hoof only, and it will be fab, then start looking at diet and possible supplements to change the hoof that's coming through. There are people on here who can advise far better than me on what and how to feed for improved hoof condition

The main ingredient in keratex hoof hardener is formaldehyde - not something I'd want anywhere near my horse!!

Magnesium, linseed and seaweed. Most importantly a high fibre low sugar diet combined with a trimmer who understands a barefoot foot!
