Abstract
The rubber hoof block is rapid and easy to use with a perfectly acceptable length of action that makes it a standard part of routine hoof care and treatment. You use the block in all cases where there is an indication for pain relief or simply to help with faster healing. Many practitioners no longer use other forms of hoof dressing such as bandages as this technique is so quick and cheap.
 The main drawback with rubber blocks is that they require quite a lot of skill to apply properly and many veterinarians have given up at the "learning hurdle" instead of persisting in practicing the technique and mastering it.
