A Vettec Super Fast hoof repair

Bob Smith of the Pacific Coast Horseshoeing School shared us the images and information about a hoof repair done with Vettec Super Fast.

This club footed horse was confined in deep sand that contributed to gross hoof wall separation. All loose and flaky structure was removed and the foot rebuilt with three layers of Vettec SuperFast, followed by nailing up a shoe.

Below you will find the several steps Bab Smith took to do this hoof repair:
