FormaHoof Kits Product Guide
The easiest way to start your FormaHoof journey begins with our Ready-to-Go Kits
The pre-configured Kits include everything you need to apply FormaHoof and provide maximum comfort to your or your clients’ horses.
Our Kits are designed to make your life easy and give you a hassle-free start to using FormaHoof. Generally, just one Mould is needed to apply FormaHoof to both front or both hind feet, which makes our Kits the best way to get started.
We recommend Kits for first-time buyers, self-trimming owners, & owners who wish to start their journey with their trusted home farrier or trimmer.

Is there anything else I need?
There are some additional items that we highly recommend to make your life easier. However, it is up to each individual to decide on their personal need and to purchase them locally.
Silicon Spray
Cleaning your FormaHoof Moulds regularly with a good quality silicon base spray will extend their life and help to prevent them from becoming damaged. At FormaHoof, we use WD-40 Silicon. However, other brands can provide the same effect.
Dental Impression Material (DIM)
We recommend the use of DIM with FormaHoof Applications.
How To Use It?
- DIM should be used in small quantities around the frog and/or to fill gaps which the polymer could flow into and create discomfort, e.g. resected areas, deep cracks, etc.
- It is advisable to use a small amount of copper sulphate with DIM for long-term disinfection of infected areas, especially if the horse is presented with thrush or white line disease.
You can purchase DIM at your local farrier shop, online, or directly from a dentist.
A good rasp to prepare the foot - Which rasp to use when?
Regular rasp
Used to trim and prepare the barefoot hoof as normal.
Cody James (medium) rasp
Used to prepare the wall for the application and to allow the application to bond better with the hoof wall
Shinto rasp
Similar to the Cody James, this rasp can be used to prepare the hoof and wall. It is a more compact version and can help to prepare smaller feet more easily than a regular-sized rasp.
