Why OrthoHoof is Different
OrthoHoof contains more polyurethane resin than traditional casting tape — engineered specifically for hoof casting, not general orthopedic use:
- Stickier adhesion — extra resin bonds more reliably to the hoof wall
- Superior strength — withstands the unique demands of equine weight-bearing and movement
- Optimized for hooves — not a repurposed human casting product
Key Features
- 10-roll box — 40 yards of total coverage at clearance pricing
- 3-inch width — the most popular width for standard quarter crack repairs and broad hoof wall coverage
- Fast setting — water-activated resin sets in 3–5 minutes
- Weather resistant — withstands moisture, mud, and daily equine activity
- Professional grade — trusted by veterinarians and certified farriers nationwide
Polyester vs. Fiberglass — Which Should You Choose?
Understanding the differences helps you select the right formulation for your specific case.
| Feature | Polyester (OrthoHoof) | Fiberglass (OrthoHoof) |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Polyester fabric + polyurethane resin | Fiberglass fabric + polyurethane resin |
| Flexibility | More pliable and flexible | More rigid structural support |
| Durability | Superior abrasion resistance | More brittle; may crack at heels with excessive movement |
| Best for | Active horses, hard/rocky terrain, hooves prone to twisting | Maximum rigidity, laminitic horses (early rehab), navicular cases |
Our recommendation: Polyester is our most popular option for the majority of equine hoof repair applications due to its superior abrasion resistance and flexibility.
Clinical Applications
- Quarter crack repair — stabilize vertical hoof wall cracks during healing
- Hoof wall reconstruction — reinforce damaged or weak walls to restore structural integrity
- Laminitis support — additional structural support during treatment protocols
- White line disease — stabilize affected areas while preventing further separation
- Abscess recovery — protect healing tissue during post-abscess recovery
- Therapeutic shoeing — complement specialized shoeing with additional stabilization
How to Apply OrthoHoof Casting Tape
Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Preparation: Clean and dry the hoof thoroughly. Remove all debris, dirt, and moisture. The hoof wall must be completely dry for proper adhesion.
- Assessment: Evaluate the crack or damage to determine layers needed. Most applications require 2–4 layers for adequate strength.
- Activation: Wearing gloves, immerse the tape in clean, room-temperature water for 3–5 seconds until bubbling stops. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Application: Apply with moderate, consistent tension. Overlap each wrap by 50%. Smooth out any wrinkles or air pockets.
- Molding: While still wet and pliable, shape and smooth to conform to natural hoof contours.
- Curing: Allow 20–30 minutes for initial set. Full strength in 24 hours. Keep the horse in a clean, dry area during curing.
- Finishing: Once cured, trim excess material and smooth rough edges with a rasp or file.
Tip: Work quickly — the 3–5 minute working time begins immediately after activation. Have all supplies ready before wetting the tape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same product as the regular OrthoHoof 3" 10 Roll Box?
Yes — this is the identical OrthoHoof casting tape, same formula and specifications. It is offered at a clearance price to move remaining inventory. Full performance and shelf life apply.
What is the difference between OrthoHoof Polyester and Fiberglass casting tape?
Polyester is more pliable and flexible with superior abrasion resistance — ideal for active horses, horses on hard or rocky ground, and hooves prone to twisting. Fiberglass provides a more rigid application with firmer structural support, best suited for laminitic horses in early rehab, navicular cases, and horses with minimal movement.
Why is OrthoHoof different from traditional casting tape?
OrthoHoof contains more polyurethane resin than traditional casting tape, delivering stronger adhesion to the hoof wall, superior strength for weight-bearing demands, and a formula specifically optimized for hoof casting rather than general orthopedic use.
How long does OrthoHoof casting tape take to set?
Working time is 3–5 minutes after water activation. Initial set takes 20–30 minutes. Full cure strength is reached in 24 hours.
What is the shelf life of OrthoHoof casting tape?
3 years when stored in sealed packaging in cool, dry conditions away from moisture and direct sunlight.
