Please use the links below to view the Cowslips fitting sequence:

The sole and the wall of the hoof must be thoroughly cleaned with a rasp or rotary sander removing all debris and old horn. The claw must be dry.
Trial fit the shoe before applying adhesive. Some trimming of the healthy claw may be necessary.
Put liquid into Cowslips first. Thoroughly mix the adhesive within the shoe to achieve an even paste consistency.
Fit the shoe on healthy claw. Position firmly by tapping the toe of the shoe. NB. This is important to achieve the ideal positioning. Sole of the shoe should be parallel to sole of claw.
Clean off any excess adhesive so that adhesive does not touch hoof/skin junction.
Leave foot in raised position for several minutes until adhesive has set.
Place foot on ground and keep the animal standing for a few minutes.
Animal is now free to walk uninhibited.
