| 20080257563 | Orthotics and prosthetics for shodding a horse and methods of fabrication and measurement therefor - A method for shodding a horse with a variety of orthotic and prosthetic shoes is provided, which includes the use of a laser mounted on a vertically variable staging platform to measure the differences in length of a horse's legs. The laser-based measurements are then combined with observed hoof pitch dimensions in order to determine the height and angle of appropriate build-ups for a horseshoe, of which a mold is than made. A conventional horseshoe is placed in a shoe mold, and a polyurethane or other durable but initially pliable material is selectively poured so as to build up portions of the shoe. The build ups correct both the differences in leg length and variations and inconsistencies in the shape of the horse's hooves, thereby creating an appropriate orthotic or prosthetic shoe suitable for shodding. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20130068485 | Method For Heatless Manufacture Of Horseshoes - A method for cold manufacturing horseshoes utilizes a laser cutter, a hydraulic press, and a sanding belt to cut horseshoes from a sheet of material without heating up the sheet of material. Information, including dimensions of the horseshoe as well as position and size of a plurality of nail holes, is fed into a control computer for the laser cutter. The laser cutter cuts an outline of the horseshoe from the sheet of material, as directed by the control computer. The laser cutter also creates nail outlines, providing a guide for the second step involving the hydraulic press. Once the nail outlines are created an appropriately sized punch is selected for the hydraulic press. The hydraulic press uses the punch to bore through the outlines, creating beveled nail holes. The horseshoe is then moved to a sanding belt, where a rear surface and edge of the horseshoe is sanded smooth. | 03-21-2013 |

| 20090090519 | Equine hoof rasp - The equine hoof rasp is used by a horse owner to keep healthy, balanced hooves between the five to eight week intervals before a farrier visit. The equine hoof rasp has an elongated peanut-shaped handle with a front end and a rear end. The rear end is larger than the front end. The handle has a V-shaped cutout extending from the rear end to the front end. The V-shaped cutout forms a concave middle for mounting a pair of rasps at an angle. To hold the rasps, there is a pair of congruent retaining shields. The shields form an open rectangular middle section. The open rectangular middle section frames the rasps when the rasps are mounted in the peanut-shaped handle. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090205844 | HOOF PLANE - A hoof plane comprises cutting teeth with cutting edges which extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and therefore to the working direction. The cutting teeth and the chip breaker grooves are formed by machining and extend at an angle of 45° relative to the longitudinal axis. The hoof plane consists of a high-quality tool steel and has a hardness of at least 64 HRC. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20110278025 | Template Device and Method for Trimming Equine Animal Hooves - Unbalanced feet are known to cause lameness in horses. A trimming template, when attached securely around the exterior hoof wall with predetermined and precise measurements, will guide the farrier's hoof-cutting tools to trim the foot into perfect balance. This device looks like an oversized flat horseshoe with a hinge about half way between the toe and the heel on each side, allowing both heels to swing out or in. On the inside, protruding nail-type pins will penetrate into the hoof wall when the device is closed therearound between the coronary band and the foot's ground surface. Attached to one heel is an expanding strap that snaps onto the other heel to hold the device in place. Tool hardened steel construction withstands wear and tear. This device encircles the hoof wall, then locks solidly into place and stays attached to the foot to guide farrier tools for quick and accurate trimming. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120199369 | Illuminating hoof-pick - A hoof-pick is an equine tool resembling a screwdriver with a bent blade. It is used to “pick-out” or clean and examine the sole of a horse's hoof. The hoof-pick can be either a curved hook style or standard bent or “spade” blade. An illuminating hoof-pick has a LED (light emitting diode) built into the rubber or molded plastic handle. The LED wiring and resistor is housed in a protective tube built into the underside of the molded handle. One wire in the assembly goes to the contact spring; the other to a conducting battery tube on the contact board. The LED is activated by a push button on-off switch and powered by a “AAA” battery. The technology is basically the same as a flashlight. The LED light would be mounted on the base of the hook. This position would illuminate the proper area to be cleaned or examined. | 08-09-2012 |
| 20140060857 | Combination Rasping/Filing Tool - A combination rasping/filing tool comprises an axially extending blade having first and second surfaces and proximal and distal ends.

Each individual rasping tooth defines a rasping cavity projecting below the first surface and has a raised portion projecting away from said first surface a height h. The raised portion has a trailing shoulder extending proximally away from and contiguous with a sharpened rasping ledge. A rasping face is contiguous with the rasping ledge and projects into the rasping cavity. Each rasping tooth is arranged in a row of a plurality of teeth, and each row is staggered in relation to proximally and distally neighboring rows. In one embodiment each row comprises eight teeth. | 03-06-2014 |
