EQUINE CASTING TECHNIQUES

The area to be casted should be cleaned and dried. It is advisable to thoroughly scrub and prep the hoof with disinfectant and dry thoroughly. DELTA-NET Synthetic Stockinet is cut to twice the length of the finished cast and rolled evenly from each end until the ends meet.
Starting with the portion of the DELTA-NET Synthetic Stockinet which is rolled to the outside, place it over the bottom of the hoof and roll the DELTA-NET Synthetic Stockinet up the leg, leaving approximately 3-4 inches of surplus material beyond the point where the top of the cast will be.
The remaining roll of DELTA-NET Synthetic Stockinet at the bottom of the hoof is rotated around the long axis of the hoof in either direction approximately three-quarters of a turn to secure the DELTA-NET at the bottom of the hoof.
