Abstract: Temporary footwear for a shod or unshod hoofed animal, particularly useful when the animal is required to stand in a confined space such as in a trailer for long periods. The resilient footwear includes an upper and lower band which engage the hoof and a plurality of straps which are integrally formed with the lower band, and which are generally disposed across the lower surface of the hoof. A moist pack is retained against the lower surface of the hoof by the straps. The footwear in addition to providing protection and keeping the hoof moist also promotes circulation of the hoof.
