Perfect Way to Combat Scratches!
My mare Phoebe had an awful bout of scratches that also led to cellulitis in my first few months of ownership with her. Since then, I have tried a handful of products to help keep the scratches away. I was looking for something easy to use, especially during the wet, rainy days, and decided to try the Keratex Mud Shield Powder. It is gentle enough to use daily if needed and has waterproofing and disinfecting properties that assist the horse’s natural defenses against mud and water. I put it on her lower legs and then rub it in with my hands. Along with other cleaning measures, this has been the easiest product to use and I believe it is one of the key reasons why I haven’t had any reoccurrence with scratches this past year! One bottle can last me a few months too, which makes this product economical too.

good stuff
My horse is turned out 24/7 and the mud in his field last winter was awful. I bought this to deter the build up of mud on his legs. He likes to roll alot in the yucky mud & gets alot of mud on his thick winter coat. This product has been great in preventing mud from caking up on him all over, especially his legs & belly.

Helps Fight Scratches
We had an incredibly rainy spring, between that and the snow melt, my mare got scratches. This is great at helping to keep the moisture at bay, and its stops the flys from settling on the area. I do think its prevented the fungus from getting worse...but it doesn't appear to be scratches miracle cure. I will say it might be overpriced, i don't know that baby powder couldn't do the same thing for less money.

A white sock staple!
This is a must have if you have a horse that suffers from scratches when it gets wet. It completely heals and prevents scratches. Also, I use it anytime it’s rainy, and in the summer to battle the dew. It has lasted for over a year.

Works great!
My horse has severe scratches on his back left pastern. So much mud/rain in Southeast TX right now. I am using Keratex in combination with daily cleansing using Hibiclens (about 2 weeks ago) and the scratches are definitely reducing in size but are not altogether gone, yet. I like the idea of the area staying dry versus using creams/ointments that still leave the area "moist". So far so good!

Heals and prevents scratches
After my horse moved to the north east he developed chronic scratches on his white socks. I used the vets mudd medicine, antibiotics and all sorts of homemade recipes and products off the internet! All of them kept the area too moist and the scratches never really healed. Finally thru trial and error I bought banixx and the keratex mudd shield. These are the only products that healed the scratches finally! I mainly put the keratex on now a few times per week which keeps the pink skin on the white socks from getting sunburnt and prevents any more scratches!!!!

Life Saver
This product has so far, prevented scratches from developing on my horse this summer. Having white legs predisposes him to it, however he's an extreme case and usually breaks out really badly. This summer has been nothing but wet, and he's great! Mud Shield is an absolute MUST HAVE for me. Thanks Smartpak!

Rapid relief from Scratches
After clipping and using Banixx I apply Keratin Mud Shield Powder daily and the "scratches" heel scabs get better and as long as I apply Mud Shield when it is damp the heel area stays healthy.
