Fast and Simple Application

The hoof is trimmed and balanced as normal, the perimeter of the hoof is then measured and the correct amount of shoe cut accordingly. The hoof surfaces, wall and sole as well as the inner Horse-Slip is wiped with a degreasing liquid before drying. The adhesive is then applied to the Horse-Slip before being positioned on the hoof and covered in self-adhesive wrap to allow the adhesive to set correctly.

Testimonials

In 2005 Megan a nine year old, 15.1hh cob developed laminitis due to afterbirth retention and following veterinary treatment would not move of her own accord. Megan had two front Horse-Slips fitted and an immediate improvement was seen. Megan has continued to breed beautiful foals and her owner states;

‘‘My belief is that without the great veterinary care from my vet and the Horse-Slips supplied from Giltspur Scientific Ltd Megan would not be here today.’’

Pamela Wilkinson, Breeder

‘‘I have now used Horse-Slips on a variety of different equine cases with great success and have seen dramatic success with severe laminitis cases. In one case the pony was unable to move but within 24-36 hours after applying Horse-Slips the pony was moving freely. ’’
