KERALIT Keralysin Ointment – Gently Dissolves Scabs & Crusts, 110 g
KERALIT Keralysin Ointment: gentle scab removal for horses with mud fever With mud fever, eczema and older skin injuries, stubborn scabs and crusts often cover the affected skin, sticking firmly to the hair and hindering proper treatment of the underlying cause. KERALIT Keralysin Ointment gently softens and lifts these crusts, making it a practical solution for horse owners who want to treat skin issues without added stress for their horse. The extremely low-viscosity oils infiltrate and soften the scab layers, loosening them so they can often be removed after just one overnight application, without mechanical irritation. This allows additionally prescribed disinfectants or medicinal preparations to achieve their optimal effect. The ointment has proven especially useful for Friesians and other horses with long feathering on the fetlock, as there's no need to remove the feathers before treatment.

Keralit Hoof Strengthener for Tough, Resilient Horn, 250 ml
Keralit Hoof Strengthener 250 ml – for tough, resilient hoof horn The Keralit Hoof Strengthener makes hoof horn stronger and significantly more hard-wearing, whether your horse is barefoot or shod. It stabilises the horn around the white line, bearing edge and sole, giving hooves the resilience they need to cope with everyday wear on the yard and in the field. Harmful bacteria and fungi can no longer break down the treated horn, and horn-destroying substances such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide from stable bedding are neutralised. Horn abrasion in barefoot horses is greatly reduced, while shod horses benefit from firmer-sitting shoes and nail holes that no longer rip out. Clean the hoof with a hard, dry brush before use; best results are achieved when the strengthener is applied to a dry or only slightly damp hoof. Overview: Strengthens hoof horn and significantly increases durability Stabilises the white line, bearing edge and sole Makes horn indigestible to harmful bacteria and fungi Neutralises horn-decomposing substances from stable bedding Greatly reduces horn abrasion in barefoot horses Helps shoes sit more firmly on shod horses Technical details: Content: 250 ml Application: apply with bristle brush Suitable for barefoot and shod horses Contents: 1x Keralit Hoof Strengthener 250 ml FAQ: How often should I apply Keralit Hoof Strengthener?Daily in acute cases, twice a week once improvement occurs, and once a week for prevention. Can I use it on shod horses?Yes, brush onto the lowest third of the hoof wall up to and beyond the nail holes, letting it run slightly under the shoe. Does the hoof need to be dry before application?Ideally dry or only slightly damp, so the horn absorbs the product optimally.

Thanks to its low-viscosity, water-soluble formula with tannins and salts, the liquid penetrates deep into frog clefts and fissured horn substance. It makes the horn surface indigestible for decay-causing bacteria and fungi, while neutralising harmful stable bedding influences such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide. Visible drying of the frog clefts typically occurs after just 3-4 days of use.

Keralit Hoof-Elast Care Oil for Elastic Horse Hooves, 475 ml
Keralit Hoof-Elast Care Oil - Intensive Care for Elastic Hooves The Keralit Hoof-Elast Care Oil is a liquid concentrate containing over 90% plant-based oils such as laurel, sesame, avocado and jojoba oil in a water-soluble, moisture-binding formulation. For horses with dry, brittle horn, it provides intensive moisture care without sealing the hoof wall. Ideal for daily use in the stable or paddock.

Florian Ruff, and his daughter Lea Ruff also works in the company. The hoof and skin care products are developed and made in Germany, in close cooperation with farriers and vets.

For the hooves there is the Huf-Festiger hoof hardener for strong horn, the Huf-Elast care oil for supple hoof walls and the laurel ointment. Strahl-Liquide looks after the frog, while the Undercover hoof care paste is meant for the sole under the shoe. For the skin you will find Keralysin ointment and Dermacure ointment. That gives you everything for the grooming area and the stable medicine cabinet from one source.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I care for my horse's hooves?
Picking out the feet is part of every ride, before and after. Apply care products two to three times a week depending on the condition of the horn and the weather, ideally to clean, dry hooves.
What is the difference between Huf-Festiger and Huf-Elast?
Huf-Festiger is intended for soft, crumbly horn. Huf-Elast keeps dry, brittle horn supple. Which one suits depends on the condition of the hooves, and if in doubt, ask your farrier.
