Start Where The Hoof Begins

Article Submitted by Julian Norrish

A new, globally patented coronary-band approach to hoof care is launching in the U.S. through Keragenix Biotech AG and Wedgewood.

Hoof problems are among the most common frustrations in horse ownership. Cracks, brittleness, weak growth and recurring setbacks do more than spoil the look of a foot. They disrupt training, complicate farrier cycles, raise veterinary costs and chip away at a horse's comfort and consistency. A 2017 Dutch cross-sectional study published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine found that 85 percent of horses examined during routine trimming had at least one hoof disorder. For an issue this widespread, true innovation has been rare.

That is why Keragenix Biotech AG, a Swiss company focused on science-backed veterinary innovation, is excited to introduce Hoof Matrix to the U.S. market. Globally patented, Hoof Matrix takes a di1erent approach: the cream is applied topically to the coronary band, the point where new hoof horn is formed. Healthy growth starts there 3rst, then travels down the hoof capsule over time. Feed-through supplements can support the horse systemically, and surface oils and dressings can help condition the outer hoof. Hoof Matrix is designed to complement those tools by targeting the source of new growth itself.

When you have endured years of stress, belittlement, or simply being shunned, it takes more than a few walks in the park to shake that off. It also takes deep reflection and being honest with yourself to find those seeds that become deeply planted in our souls. For me, that little nugget of damage was a loss of confidence. No matter how bold you are, no matter how experienced or knowledgeable, years of being pushed to the side will take a toll on you. So here I am, not realizing my confidence was being eroded until I wind up on the back of a horse.
