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:
|
Club foot with severe hoof wall separation due to stand long in deep sand. |
|
|
The first step in this treatment is the removal of all loose material to get down to solid structure. |
|
|
The preparation is now completed. The hoof is clear and we can now add the layers Vettec Super Fast. |
|
|
The first of three layers of SuperFast utilized to minimize exotherm. The shoe is placed for border reference. |
|
Vettec Super Fast has a very fast setting. In only 30 seconds Vettec SuperFast is set. This step shows the final SuperFast layer. The nails are pulled and re-driven. |
|
As soon as the third layer is set, we can start rasping to shape and finish. |
