D.E. Hoof Taps – 25 Pack Jar

Invented by farrier Doug Ehrmann, D.E. Hoof Taps are a revolutionary product designed to help address common hoof problems such as cracks, wall separation, white line disease, crushed heels, and more. Each insert is zinc-coated and anti-bacterial, and when applied correctly, encourages healthy wall growth and stabilization. Can be used with shoes, boots, glue-ons, wraps, or barefoot.

Product Highlights

  • 25 anti-bacterial zinc-coated hoof taps per container
  • Invented by professional farriers, tested in the field
  • Designed for use with wall separation, cracks, thrush, white line, low heels, crushed heels, and uneven wear
  • Can be used under shoes, under wraps, glue-ons, or barefoot
  • Taps do not impair hoof flexibility
  • Reusable and removable during next trim cycle

Suggested Applications

  • Wall Separation / White Line Disease: Drive taps into the white line or wall separation area. For deep separations, only drive the posts.
  • Crushed Heels / Low Heels: Drive tap slightly forward from the actual end of the heel where wall is present.
  • Excessive Wear / Brittle Walls: Set taps on either side of hoof to help maintain hoof integrity between trims.
  • Toe Cracks / Stabilization: Use as anchors in cracks or unstable wall areas before applying a shoe.

Driving Tips

  • Use the tip of a loop knife or farrier’s knife to mark or groove wall before tapping
  • Drive tap flush with hoof wall using light hammer blows
  • Taps should be below or even with the wall surface — not proud
  • To cut down size, use bolt cutters or nippers and bend center eye post with pull-offs or pliers

Key Benefits

  • Encourages healthy new wall growth
  • Helps stabilize hoof capsule without limiting flexibility
  • Reduces lameness caused by wall instability or separation
  • Can aid in transitioning from shod to barefoot
  • Ideal for show horses, performance horses, and rehabilitation

Important Notes

  • Consult your farrier before application
  • Always wear eye protection during installation
  • Trim or remove after 3–5 weeks as needed
  • Patent Pending #15339901
  • Made in the USA
