A hoof shoe formed in situ and a method for building a hoof shoe, such as a horseshoe, of an intended shape in situ are disclosed, including cleaning the surface of the shoe area of horse hoof of debris, extruding onto the cleaned hoof surface from a common mix tip communicating with separate reactive resin precursors in first and second chambers a flowable horseshoe preform comprising an intimate curable mixture of reactive resin precursors at a profile depth and width generally conforming to the intended horseshoe shape, adhering the mixture to said shoe area surface, rapidly curing the mixture to a non-flowable mass by reaction of said resin precursors, and locally shaping the horseshoe mass to modify its extruded profile to a final intended horseshoe shape on the surface.

A horseshoe with splaying and flexibility features has a U shaped compliant metallic unitary body having left and right wings and a central toe area integral with the body, and a compliant leaf-spring formation disposed proximate to or as part of the toe area. The leaf spring is arch shaped and resiliently deforms and exerts horizontal pressure sideways on the left and right wings thus splaying the left and right wings. The arch shape forms a cavity which is optionally filled with a resilient material, e.g., polyurethane, to prevent accumulation of debris in the cavity. Contiguous serrations on the left and right wings provide relative vertical flexibility of the left and right wings. The splaying and flexibility enhance horse-hoof comfort and hoof-structure re-generation. The horseshoe may be cast / forged, blanked, or welded or produced by mechanical joining. Hardened stainless steel or Titanium, or other material may be used for the horseshoe.

The hoof bandage is designed to bandage a hoofed animal's hoof. The hoof bandage includes a base plate with a bottom and at least a front wall portion and a securing element to maintain the base plate on the hoof. The hoof bandage is preferably designed to fit a horse hoof or a cow hoof. The hoof bandage preferably easily slips onto the animal's hoof and is preferably secured by the use of a common household hair dryer to heat the shrink wrap surrounding the animal's hoof. No heating is required in the heel area, as this portion of the hoof is secured with an elastomeric band. Bandaging the hoof is accomplished easily and with less time and considerably fewer problems than with conventional hoof bandaging methods.

Horse hoof protection against thrush conditions is obtained by depositing onto the horse hoof bottom wall a synthetic organic resin such as a urethane resin through which a medicament that does not block cure of the resin has been, distributed for continuing hoof wall contact. The resin is suitably free flowing into place, conforms to the contours of the hoof bottom wall, and adheres to the wall when cured. The protection by the resin is resilient and softer than the hoof wall and acts to cushion the hoof against shock.

A pad-like support device's springy (dampening, elastic) function allows a horse hoof during impact to function similar to a hoofs function during impact when the horse is unshod. A further advantage is that the risk of pressing in is essentially eliminated. A further advantage of the present invention is that the flexible zones reduce the pull on the shoe and the seam (nails) when rocks and uneven ground press the middle part in the upward direction. A still further advantage is that an effective dampening of the frog's ground impact is achieved thereby reducing the load (stress) on the horse's hoof, ligaments and joints. It is a further advantage of the present invention that it improves circulation. Because the frog's support essentially follows the frog's every movement, friction (abrasion) occurring between the pad and the frog on existing pads is minimized.
