Abstract

The aqua boot for horses is a device which is designed for rehydration of a horses hoof in order to prevent excessive dryness and cracking of the hoof. The boot is a structured sponge or plastic foam wrap having an inside shoulder for attaching to and conforming to a dehydrated hoof of a horse. The boot is a layer of absorbent foam or sponge material having apertures, adhered to a rubber or vinyl backing material with mating strips of hook and loop fastening material attached to opposite ends of the sponge or foam so that the boot may be wrapped around the horse's hoof. The foam or sponge layer is soaked in water, ice or other moisturizing liquid, lotion, or gel, and wrapped about the hoof with the sponge layer in contact with the hoof.
