How To Apply FormaHoof

Application Step-By-Step Guide

Step 1

Remove shoes or previous application, trim and clean the hooves

Step 2

Prepare your Mould and Consumables for the application. Wrap the mesh (or Flex Mesh) around the prepared hoof and fit the mould.

Step 3

Start applying the FormaHoof Advanced Polymer, beginning at the toe, moving across the sole (toe to heel). Allow the material to set before letting the foot down and filling the sides.

Step 4

Once fully cured, remove ALL injection points (sole, sides, toe, heel) with your nippers and carefully loosen the seal on the top line of the mould (do not use a knife) and remove the Mould.

Step 5

Clip off all remaining injection points and clean off any excess material and give the application its finish and further adjustments if needed.

Step 6

If using a Traction Mould, you can adjust the length of the traction devices according to preference, usage and ground conditions and you are ready to go.

How To Remove FormaHoof

At the end of an application cycle, FormaHoof applications are removed from the hoof in order to trim the feet.

The polyurethane used by FormaHoof Advanced Polymer is not a strong adhesive and does not form a strong chemical bond to the hoof like other products do, allowing a clean and damage-free removal process within minutes.

FormaHoof Removal Step-By-Step Guide

Step 1

Remove the old shoe (where applicable) and gently rasp into the quarters of the FormaHoof application, making sure to only rasp through the application, not into the hoof wall.
