Abstract
An appliance (10) for assisting in the shoeing of horses and other animals i s made of malleable galvanized sheet metal. It is formed of a pair of wings (1 4, 16) which extend outwardly from a center axis (18) and extend upwardly from a line perpendicular to the axis at an angle of approximately 25~ - 40~ to accommodate various hoof trim angles. The wings are wrapped about an animal' s hoof (30) and are trimmed, if necessary, to lie flush with the hoof edge. Th e wings each have a plurality of apertures (22, 24) for receiving the ends of shoeing nails (38) that are clinched to the outer surface of the appliance. The appliance extends the life of a shoeing, prevents loose and thrown shoes and is useful in repairing cracked hooves.
Claims (9)
1. A method of shoeing animals hooves that comprises the steps of:
providing a hoof appliance that is a flexible flat plate having a center axis and a pair of wings extending therefrom, said wings including a plurality of closely-spaced apertures, wrapping the plate about a hoof with the axis generally at the hoof front, positioning a shoe on the hoof, inserting nails through spaced portions of the shoe, through the hoof and out through said apertures in both wings, and clinching the nail ends onto the wings.
providing a hoof appliance that is a flexible flat plate having a center axis and a pair of wings extending therefrom, said wings including a plurality of closely-spaced apertures, wrapping the plate about a hoof with the axis generally at the hoof front, positioning a shoe on the hoof, inserting nails through spaced portions of the shoe, through the hoof and out through said apertures in both wings, and clinching the nail ends onto the wings.
2. A method of repairing a cracked hoof of an animal that comprises the steps of:
providing a hoof appliance that is a flexible flat plate having a center axis and a pair of wings extending therefrom, said wings including a plurality of closely-spaced apertures, wrapping the plate about a hoof so that the appliance spans the crack with a wing on either side thereof, positioning a shoe on the hoof, anchoring the appliance in place by inserting nails through spaced portions of the shoe, through the hoof and out through said apertures in both wings, and clinching the nail ends onto the wings, thereby preventing the hoof from spreading apart and preventing progression of the crack during movement of the animal.
providing a hoof appliance that is a flexible flat plate having a center axis and a pair of wings extending therefrom, said wings including a plurality of closely-spaced apertures, wrapping the plate about a hoof so that the appliance spans the crack with a wing on either side thereof, positioning a shoe on the hoof, anchoring the appliance in place by inserting nails through spaced portions of the shoe, through the hoof and out through said apertures in both wings, and clinching the nail ends onto the wings, thereby preventing the hoof from spreading apart and preventing progression of the crack during movement of the animal.
3. A hoof appliance for facilitating animal shoeing, comprising a flexible flat plate having a center axis and a pair of wings extending therefrom, said wings including a plurality of closely-spaced apertures for receiving shoeing nail ends, said plate being conformable to the outside contour of a hoof.
4. The hoof appliance of claim 3, wherein the wings are angled upwardly relative to a line perpendicular to the center axis at a predetermined angle such that the lower edge of the wings conforms generally to the edge of the hoof.
5. The hoof appliance of claim 4, wherein the angle is approximately 25° -40°, depending on which type of animal, and whether the front or hind hooves, is being shod.
6. The hoof appliance of claim 5, wherein the angle is 25° - 35°
for use primarily in shoeing animals' front hooves.
for use primarily in shoeing animals' front hooves.
7. The hoof appliance of claim 5, wherein the angle is 35° - 40°
for use primarily in shoeing animals' hind hooves.
for use primarily in shoeing animals' hind hooves.
8. The hoof appliance of claim 3, wherein the flat plate is made of a malleable material.
9. The hoof appliance of claim 8, wherein the malleable material is galvanized sheet metal.
