  • There are a number of patents which have been directed to hoof patch materials and to the problems associated with repairing the hooves of horses, mules, burros and other hooved animals.
  • Patent No. 4,896,727 to Busser is directed to a medium and a method for filling or replacing the hornwall or horny parts of the coffin of the hoof of an animal, particularly a horse.
  • the medium consists of a mixture of a plurality of materials of which one is a synthetic resin and another consists of filler particles such as wood, rubber, cork or combination of filler particles.
  • the mixture is adapted to be cured by the addition of a hardening catalyst, and optionally by the use of an accelerator.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,199,4908 discloses a hoof pad comprising a polymer composition containing at least 50% by weight of high molecular weight polycaprolactone polymers wherein the composition has a melting point of from about 120° F to about
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,069,289 is directed to a process for attaching a non-metallic shoe to a horse's hoof and for replacing a crack in the hoof.
  • the process involves heating the hoof and the part to be attached, if any, to about 275 degrees Fahrenheit, and then bonding with a paste-type urethane adhesive.
  • the adhesive undergoes a phase change from paste to liquid at the hot surface and thereby produces a highly wetting liquid film that leads to a bond many times stronger than would have otherwise occurred.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,982,797 is directed to a method for securing a horseshoe to a hoof by wrapping a curable resin coated sheet material around an applied horseshoe and at least a portion of the hoof after the cure has been initiated, such that the resin coated sheet material secures the horseshoe to the hoof.

Due to its unique chemical composition, the present invention is comfortably resilient and does not impede normal flexion of the hoof. It can be removed with a rasp just as if it were the natural hoof wall.
  • the present invention is installed in the following manner. Initially, the hoof of the animal is trimmed and rasped and examined for level, balance and structure. The bottom of the hoof and all voids are then cleaned using a brass brush. A bonding agent in accordance with the present invention is applied to all voids in the hoof and to any area requiring reconstruction or repair. If constructing a rim pad or shoe, the bonding agent is applied to the entire weight bearing surface of the hoof.
  • the hoof is then lowered into a box or container which is evenly covered with approximately one-half inch of a loose particulate material, preferably comprising shredded rubber and ester.
  • the hoof is permitted to stand for approximately five to ten seconds in the compound.
