  • the fingers and rear folding portion are hinge connected to the base plate and incorporate retention loops through which various types of belts, cords or straps including cable ties can be fitted.
  • the fingers and rear folding portion may be divided into hinge connected segments. The use of the segmented fingers and a segmented rear folding portion allows several sizes of hoof or foot to be provided for by one basic shoe.
  • a previously used horseshoe may be used as a size reference and the overshoe prepared for fitting by pre-folding the fingers so that they are upstanding adjacent the outer periphery of the horseshoe.
  • the hoof overshoe can take on the shape of a slipper, the back portion of which is still open.
  • the animal's hoof is lifted and the "slipper" is slipped onto the front of the hoof.
  • the rear folding portion can then be folded at an appropriate hinge and the belt, cord, strap or cable tie fitted through the rear folding portion retention loops.
  • the belt, cord, strap or cable tie is then appropriately tightened and locked, or otherwise secured, to complete the fitting of the hoof overshoe.
  • the adjustable fingers are pre-shaped in this way, fitting to animal's foot can take less than thirty seconds, which is convenient for the user and reduces the stress caused to the animal.
  • the base plate may be temporarily fitted to the animal's foot in order to ascertain the correct size of the sole prior to shaping the fingers.
  • an intermediate sock or the like may be used.
  • the intermediate sock may be made from a moisture-proof material that is also air permeable.
  • the incorporation of a pull cord or the like at the mouth of the intermediate sock facilitates retention of the sock until the hoof overshoe is correctly fitted.
  • the hoof overshoe protects the intermediate sock from undue wear or damage and likewise the bandage or poultice is protected from the elements by the intermediate sock, which being air permeable allows the ailment to "breathe".
  • the hoof overshoe may comprise a moulded plastic base plate having hinge connected fingers and a hinged rear portion extending from its periphery.
  • the overshoe is injection- moulded.
  • the moulding may be generally flat, which may result in an inexpensive mould tool and reduce transport and packaging costs.
  • the hoof overshoe may have fingers and a rear folding portion divided into hinge connected segments.
  • the hinges may take the form of grooves, or indentations, extending across the fingers and rear folding portion.
  • the grooves, or indentations form a weakened part in the structure that allows bending along the length of the groove, or indentation, without detriment to the structure.
  • the material chosen for the manufacture of the overshoe fingers and rear folding portion may have a composition such as polypropylene which is suitably resilient.
  • the hinge grooves, or indentations preferably have a rounded profile in order to prevent stress cracking.
  • the illustrated example has fingers and a rear folding portion divided into three segments by two hinges disposed away from the connection to the base plate. However, it will be understood that this is not essential and that there may be two or more segments as desired. Furthermore, in some examples, the fingers and rear folding formation may have no hinge connected segments.
  • the illustrated hoof overshoe has fingers and a rear folding portion divided into segments by integral hinges.
  • the hinges may connect separate segment parts by means of swivel pins so that, for example, the fingers and rear folding portion can be moulded separately of the base plate.
  • the hoof overshoe wherein both the adjustable fingers and the rear portions have hinges between the adjustable sections.
  • the folding sections or joints have loops, hooks, catches or the like on the outside profile of the shoe for the useful attachment or gripping engagement in conjunction with a strap or band.
  • the overshoe preferably encompasses the appropriate top section or sections of the overshoe whereas the strap(s) is threaded and retained through the loops in the shaped fingers and rear portion, in order that when appropriately tightened and locked they form a method of retaining in a robust and secure manner the overshoe on the foot of the animal wearing it. Any surplus sections can be cut off if required, the hinge indentations usefully being used as cut lines.
  • the underside of the base plate of the hoof overshoe may be provided with a gripping profile(s) in order to improve the grip, or traction, provided by the overshoe. This is particularly useful if the overshoe is utilized as a temporary shoe. If a horse were to lose a shoe when fitting a normal replacement were not possible, a hoof overshoe could be fitted in order to provide hoof protection until such time as a normal replacement shoe could be fitted.
  • the base plate of the hoof overshoe may be provided with discontinuities such as through-hole or perforations. If a circumstance exists where a hoofed animal requires support within its hoof cavity, that is the sole upbulging, horn jets and radiation furrows upon the bottom surface of the hoof, a correspondingly shaped filler or wadding can be made by providing filler material on the top side of the base plate and pressing the base plate against the hoof. The filler material will engage the discontinuities under the pressure applied through the base plate to improve adhesion to the base plate.
  • the filler material can be covered with a thin plastic sheet or the like, or the hoof bottom face coated with petroleum jelly, so that the filler material takes up the shape of the hoof cavity, but does not stick to the animal's hoof.
  • the overshoe with the shaped filler can then be set aside until the filler is set to form a profiled insert.
  • the provision of a profiled insert in this way allows the simple and inexpensive provision of custom made therapeutic protective footwear for hoofed animals.
  • the hoof overshoe may be provided with an elongate securing member in the form of a "cable tie", strap or belt provided with a weakening formation.
  • This make take the form of a reduced thickness section(s) at a point(s) along its length.
  • the weakening formation provides a safety break point. If the animal were to catch any part of the hoof overshoe, or its retaining strap, on an object such as a boundary fence, the weakening formation(s) should fracture before the animal is injured by the hoof overshoe not releasing from the object.
  • Animal overshoes as illustrated and described in this specification may at least partially alleviate the disadvantages of the prior art devices described above, or at least provide an alternative to existing products.
  • the animal overshoe may be easily made to fit quite a wide size range of animal feet and be low cost and simple to manufacture yet be quick to fit. If produced as a flat product, the packaging needed should be minimal. In most cases the animal overshoe will be reusable after appropriate cleaning and any plastics parts may be made of a fully recyclable plastics material.

  • Figure 4 illustrates the condition of the overshoe 1 if the folds are made at the first hinges 16
  • Figure 5 illustrates the condition of the overshoe 1 if the folds are made at the radially innermost of the second hinges 20.
  • folding the hinges at the radially innermost hinges 20, as shown in Figure 5 allows the radially innermost segments 18 of the overshoe to remain in the plane of the base plate 2, thereby effectively increasing the size of the base plate and allowing fitting to a larger hoof.
  • the size of the shoe can be further increased by making the folds at the radially outermost of the hinges 20.
  • the elongate securing member 24 may then be threaded through the loops defined by the formations 22 on the fingers 4.
  • the overshoe 1 can be fitted to the animal in less than thirty seconds, which causes far less stress to the animal than a lengthier fitting process. If an old horseshoe is not available, or the overshoe 1 is being fitted to an animal other than a horse, the base plate 2 may be temporarily fitted to the animal's foot in order to ascertain the correct size, prior to folding the fingers 4 at the appropriate hinges 16, 20.

  • the animal overshoe 1 protects the intermediate sock 42 against undue wear or damage, while a bandage or poultice may be protected from the elements by the intermediate sock 42. Making the intermediate sock 42 from an air permeable material ensures that the ailment, or injury, is able to "breathe" through the intermediate sock.
  • the base plate 20 of the animal overshoe 1 may be provided with a plurality of discontinuities, which in the illustrated example are through- holes 50.
  • a correspondingly shaped filler, or wadding hereinafter termed a profiled insert 52, can be made by placing a suitable filler material on the top surface 10 of the base plate 2.
