Selecting The Right FormaHoof Mould

Which reusable FormaHoof Mould suits my needs?

All FormaHoof Moulds are reusable up to 100 times, making FormaHoof a highly cost-effective way to support the long-term soundness of the horse. The same mould can be used on both front or both hind feet of the horse. Read on to learn the differences between the different types of FormaHoof Mould and to discover which is the best option for you and your horse.

FormaHoof Barefoot Mould

Barefoot is the most natural and healthy state for horses’ hooves. However, modern equine management and associated hoof weaknesses has meant that a perfectly healthy and well-shaped hoof is extremely difficult to achieve, until now.

Provides protection and support
Simulates a perfectly shaped and balanced hoof with a concave sole, correct PA and level heels
Performs and wears like a healthy barefoot hoof
Allows the horse’s own hoof to recover and grow within the flexible and protective resin coating
Is the best choice for most horses in normal work conditions
Is ideal for training or rehabilitation purposes

Like all FormaHoof moulds, a shoe can be fitted to the treated hoof in times of exceptional stress and wear. However, as the nails are driven into the hardened resin finish instead of into the hoof horn, the integrity of the hoof is maintained, allowing it to continue to regrow and heal.

FormaHoof Traction Mould

Offering all the remedial benefits of the FormaHoof Barefoot Mould, FormaHoof Traction is specifically designed for equine sports that require additional grip.

Incorporates a specially designed traction pattern on the sole, for optimal performance and superb grip in all ground conditions

Provides the most resistance to wear
Provides protection and support, simulating a perfectly shaped and balanced hoof with a concave sole, correct PA and level heels
