Keratex Mud Shield Powder 450g

Keratex Mud Shield Powder is a lightweight, breathable powder formulated to help protect horses’ lower legs during wet and muddy conditions.

Applied to clean, dry legs before turnout, the powder creates a water-repellent coating and leaves the hair feeling silky. This helps reduce mud clinging to the coat and limits prolonged exposure of the underlying skin to moisture.

Unlike products that absorb water, Keratex Mud Shield Powder is designed to remain light and non-sticky when exposed to wet conditions. The convenient puff bottle makes it easy to apply directly to the lower legs.
