Horse overshoes prevent hard objects from pressing against a sensitive sole. These are good for sole bruising, laminitis, and sole abscesses. These should be temporary solutions, but many use them long-term. The problem with this is that the hoof never toughens.

A substitute is to take a rectangular utility sponge and attach it to the sole with Elastikon or duct tape.

Of source, adding a high-quality protein to the feeding program (and removing inflammatory ingredients) will help to harden the sole.
