This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Hoof block, Using the farrier rasp or the hoof grinder roughen the foot's surface using a grinder to remove horn and debris gently. Ensure the hoof and block are clean and drythereby using a heat gun. STEP 4 Apply a two-part adhesive glue to the block. Apply a 1/8" layer of glue to the weight-bearing areas, specifically the toe triangle and along the wall. Avoid the flexor tuberosity area. Gently press the block onto the hoof. Be cautious not to apply excessive pressure, as it could squeeze out the glue. Smooth the glue around the edges with a tongue depressor. Ensure the block extends over the heel area, trimming it back if it's excessive., Verify the positioning of the block and make adjust to suit. To improve walking by using a grinder to create an angle on the block for a smoother motion. Make sure that the other digit is shielded from weight-bearing and that the entire block will bear the weight. STEP 6 Reevaluate in 4 to 6 weeks., Begin by properly trimming the healthy hoof. Also ensure to positioned the block perpendicular to the leg's long axis for balanced heels. STEP 2 Measure the hoof and select an appropriately sized block. Thicker plastic blocks are typically preferred, especially in high-wear environments like sand., Hoof block STEP 1 Begin by properly trimming the healthy hoof.
