As the title says, Cracks filled, shoes stuck to the foot, or missing hoof capsules rebuilt. If you can take the time to add any pearls of wisdom and tips for application then all will learn I'm sure. Polymers or acrylics, thermo plastic, and my least favourite impression material. Extra points for explanation for the use of any of the materials used. Judge to be Mr Bunting subject to his agreement.
Foal from last year, Dalric medial extension applied helped along with a couple of stables in the joint and as a yearling is now straight as an arrow. Shame they cant catch the bastard now to show you all.
David i might need a lend of one of those spare legs you have in the fridge or i might be only a looker on in this months
I might "rebuild" my geldings hind. The one with the sequestrum. Pack the separation with putty and CS.
sorry Mr Hall i have to decline the offer,i am though more than willing to help from dec , i have a busy agenda for the next 4 weeks . maybe we could try nailing and clenching photos in the future? most folk call me Chris ,people addressing me as Mr Bunting are always after money ie divorce lawyers , frc etc , you have got me worried Ray can fund your beers NOT ME
Okay i'l judge it, and I wont be allowed to win. This is a simple fix, just dremmel a few holes along side the crack and fill with vetec super fast, best to prime the glue into the holes with a bit of cardboard.
David, why no drain in the 1/4 crack repair. What was the outcome of the bad resection? Regrdless interesting stuff. Good job.
Crack was dry and sound, filled after shoe was nailed and clenched so plenty of fresh air in it. It is a good mend if crack isnt a major issue. The resection was a pain for a year. After that a remedial farrier took over. I will post mare pics of it later.
Sorry About the size of the pics. This horse was presented with severe white line disease causing wall seperation. The horse had become non weight bearing on the near for and consequently proceeded to have the onset of mechanical laminitis off-fore. The aim was to remove/debride all necrotic lamina, provide hoof wall stability and raise the sole off the ground. This was Achieved by rebuilding the hoof with Imprint granules and then applying the imprint shoe onto the granule rebuild (had to be quick for the 2 parts to mould together). The horse did make an immediate improvement by weight bearing. The rebuild was carried out 3 days after the resection. The debridement was very deep, as i result, it bled. The vet Clinic applied a large padded bandage with iodine mix and was treated daily until the foot had hardened. I then applied the rebuild. No infection present.
Nice job, On the subject of imprint shoes, is it possible to use vettec glue or equinox to glue them on? I have hundreds of pairs of them in the store but all the glue is gone off.
Yes David, use a heat gun on them to make them soft and to keep them dry then super fast them on. In my mind its an easier process. Good job James.
I always use Superfast. It sets alot faster and i have more confidence that the shoe will hold. With this particular case, i used the supplied glue due to the complication of bonding the 2 (rebuild and shoe). When i use Superfast, i set the shoe like normal on the foot, then slide it off the foot, dry it, Superfast around the shoe and slide it back on.
