Description
Professional Equine Hoof Casting Material - 2 Inch Width
Premium fiberglass casting tape for quarter crack repair and hoof wall stabilization. This 10-roll box of 2-inch OrthoHoof casting material provides exceptional value for veterinary practices, farriers, and equine hospitals treating hoof wall damage, quarter cracks, and structural hoof problems.
🏆 Why OrthoHoof is Different from Traditional Casting Tape
Enhanced Polyurethane Resin Formula
OrthoHoof contains more polyurethane resin compared to traditional casting tape, delivering superior performance specifically engineered for hoof casting applications:
- 🔗 Stickier Adhesion: Extra resin content creates stronger bonding to the hoof wall for reliable, long-lasting repairs
- 💪 Superior Strength: Enhanced resin concentration provides exceptional durability to withstand the unique demands of equine hoof movement and weight-bearing
- 🎯 Optimized for Hooves: Formulated specifically for hoof casting rather than general orthopedic use
This specialized formulation makes OrthoHoof the preferred choice for veterinarians and farriers who demand maximum performance in challenging hoof repair applications.
Why Choose OrthoHoof 2" Casting Tape?
- Economical 10-Roll Box: Significant cost savings compared to single rolls - perfect for high-volume practices
- Ideal 2-Inch Width: Perfect size for most quarter crack repairs and hoof wall applications
- Superior Strength: High-tensile fiberglass construction provides exceptional support and durability
- Fast Setting: Water-activated polyurethane resin sets in 3-5 minutes for efficient application
- Weather Resistant: Withstands moisture, mud, and daily equine activity
- Professional Grade: Trusted by veterinarians and certified farriers nationwide
Polyester vs Fiberglass Hoof Cast Comparison
Understanding the differences between polyester and fiberglass casting materials helps you choose the right product for your specific equine hoof repair needs.
💡 Professional Recommendation
OrthoHoof Polyester casting tape is our most popular option due to its superior abrasion resistance and flexibility, making it ideal for the majority of equine hoof repair applications. It performs exceptionally well for active horses and those on challenging terrain. For cases requiring maximum rigidity with minimal movement, fiberglass remains an excellent choice.

Clinical Applications for Equine Hoof Casting
OrthoHoof 2-inch casting tape is the professional solution for treating a wide range of equine hoof conditions:
Quarter Crack Repair
Stabilize and support vertical hoof wall cracks during the healing process. The 2-inch width provides optimal coverage for most quarter crack repairs.
Hoof Wall Reconstruction
Reinforce damaged or weak hoof walls to restore structural integrity and support normal weight-bearing.
Laminitis Support
Provide additional structural support for compromised hooves during laminitis treatment protocols.
White Line Disease
Stabilize affected areas during treatment while maintaining hoof wall integrity and preventing further separation.
Abscess Recovery
Protect healing tissue and maintain hoof structure during post-abscess recovery periods.
Therapeutic Shoeing
Complement specialized shoeing techniques with additional structural support and stabilization.
Professional Application Technique
Follow these steps for optimal results when applying OrthoHoof casting material:
- Preparation: Clean and dry the hoof thoroughly. Remove all debris, dirt, and moisture from the application area. Ensure the hoof wall is completely dry for proper adhesion.
- Assessment: Evaluate the crack or damage to determine the number of layers needed. Most applications require 2-4 layers for adequate strength.
- Activation: Wearing gloves, immerse the casting tape in clean, room-temperature water for 3-5 seconds until bubbling stops. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Application: Apply the tape with moderate, consistent tension. Overlap each wrap by 50% to ensure maximum strength and coverage. Smooth out any wrinkles or air pockets.
- Molding: While the cast is still wet and pliable, shape and smooth it to conform to the natural hoof contours. This is critical for proper fit and function.
- Curing: Allow 20-30 minutes for initial set. The cast will reach full strength in 24 hours. Keep the horse in a clean, dry area during initial curing.
- Finishing: Once cured, trim any excess material and smooth rough edges with a rasp or file for a professional finish.
⚠️ Professional Tip: Work quickly once the tape is activated. The 3-5 minute working time allows for proper application, but the material begins to set rapidly. Have all supplies ready before activating the tape.
