PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Composition for Stopping the Hoofs of Horses
and other Animals.
I JEAN HAUSSENER, of Ossemsley Manor, Christchurch, in the County of
Hants, Coachman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to a composition for stopping or plugging the hoofs of
horses and other animals, for the purpose of supplying such hoofs. with the
moisture necessary for a sound and proper growth; to render the horn tough and
prevent it getting cold, and by cooling the hoofs down gradually, to draw the
fatigue from the animals legs and avert inflammation in the hoofs, and other
ailments.
According to my invention I take of dry peat, one half a part; pure water
two and a half parts, and clay, one part.
The above mentioned ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, (the peat being
absorbent acting as a reservoir to contain the water and the clay binding the whole
mass together and at the same time tending to keep it cool) and applied in the
form of plugs as required.
The composition prepared in the manner before described, is odourless, will not
soil objects with which it may come in contact, and will keep fresh and retain its
properties for a considerable length of time.
If found desirable I may vary the proportions and manner of mixing the
ingredients together without departing from the spirit of my invention.!
