The FormaHoof treatment cycle varies between 2 – 4 applications (depending on the severity of the damage), with the application changed every 4 – 6 weeks. Consequently, there is no need for an “in-between” correctional visit by the vet or farrier to adjust applications. Since FormaHoof applications grow out with the hoof, there is no uneven wear of the hoof capsule during the application’s lifecycle. Additionally, as FormaHoof is so quick and easy to deploy and the fabrication time required for custom shoes is removed, FormaHoof helps get horses on the road to recovery far sooner and prevents damage from worsening whilst waiting for a custom solution, which is unfortunately all too common an occurrence. The application process for FormaHoof is quick and painless (non-invasive) and because an applicator follows the exact same steps on each application, regardless of the condition being addressed, it is highly repeatable. The need for complex fabrication is eliminated and the treatment process is simplified, with the human skill variability factor removed. The liquid-fit process of FormaHoof conforms to any hoof, regardless of damage levels, offering a consistent, conformationally correct and protective support base to the injured hoof, that is repeatable to the same exact standards, time and again. Unfortunately, this means that there can be great variability in the success of any ‘traditional’ treatments because the human skill element is notoriously unpredictable and variable. This means that there is great variability in the success of any treatment, which is hugely dependent on the treatment method chosen and on the skill of the farrier (or vet) applying the shoe, cast, glue-on, or any ‘alternative’ method selected.

But when it comes to shoeing for extreme hoof damage, the skill required to successfully rehabilitate a horse using traditional treatment processes and methods reaches a whole new level. We all know that good farriery is an extremely skilled profession. In cases of extreme hoof damage, either through illness ( Laminitis/Founder, White Line Disease) or injury (Hoof Cracks), FormaHoof really comes into its own.
