ABSTRACT:
A hoof dressing applicator having an applicator band for direct attachment to the coronary band of a horse's hoof. The applicator band has three rows with each row having three sealed pouches containing equal amounts of medication totalling a two-days' supply. Each pouch has a thick tough plastic exterior wall portion superposed over a weak thin plastic interior wall portion rupturable by sufficient pressure applied to its corresponding exterior wall portion. The double-seamed margings of the pouches in common with one another are joined together by heat-sealing. A thick, flexible, soft felt backing is carried by the interior wall portions of the pouches and interfaces with the coronary band of the horse's hoof. Sufficient pressure against the exterior wall portions along a row ruptures its three interior wall portions of such pouches with slow flowing of the medication which is soaked-up the felt backing and continously applied to the coronary band. Thereafter, the horse itself therapeutically medicates itself with medication by the horse's own natural movements of its legs to thereby continually massage the medication into its coronary band.
