You can also carry a "ladies"pad in first aid kit for a bandage.I carry a diaper and pads in my first aid kit.

My vet showed me how to do this for an abscess. The baby diaper fit
perfectly around the hoof, the tabs held it on, and we made a square of duct
tape, 4 layers thick to slap on the bottom of the hoof, and duct taped around
it. It would usually last about 24 hours. The funny thing is, my mare would
walk right through the 4 layers of duct tape, but never walked through the
diaper. It was always intact. They sure didn't make diapers that tough when
my kids were babies :0)
