Description

DESCRIPTION

Horse hooves cover

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as the title of this specification establishes, is a cover for horse hooves. It is an innovation that, within current techniques, provides previously unknown advantages.

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention falls within the animal husbandry sector, specifically in devices to cure or care for animals.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention arises due to abscesses that appear on the hooves of horses, where the bandage placed on them breaks and comes loose easily, especially if the horses are free.

In this sense, the bandage lasts only a few hours, therefore, it must be changed several times a day, which is quite uncomfortable for its owners and breeders.

Another drawback is that the bandage is placed and adhesive tape is used to hold it, which is often quite cumbersome because the horses do not stay still, resulting in a rather complicated task.

Consequently, the present invention offers a cover for horse hooves, which replaces the traditional bandage. This cover is washable and reusable, ensuring a longer life compared to conventional bandages.

In addition, the process of applying the cover is faster and easier, which is especially beneficial, especially when applying poultices to horses' hooves.

Currently, the existence of any horse hoof cover that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed, is unknown.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a cover for horse hooves that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

This cover is elastic, has adequate compression and is resistant to deformation. Plus, it fits easily and comfortably over horses' hooves, staying securely in place.

Thanks to these features, horse owners and caretakers can avoid the hassle of having to change bandages repeatedly throughout the day.

To use the cover properly, it must first be expanded slightly to make it easier to move over the horse's hoof and leg.

It is important to note that this cover is made with a material that is soft to the touch, which guarantees that it does not cause any damage, irritation or adverse reactions to the animal's skin. In addition, its use helps prevent chafing on the paws, thus providing complete and comfortable protection for the horse.
