Collateral ligament shoe

1. Stabilize the Joint: Reduce movement that could exacerbate the injury
2. Redistribute Weight: Minimize stress on the injured ligament.
3. Enhance Comfort: Reduce pain and promote a more natural gait
4. Lateral or Medial Extensions:
• Purpose: Extends the shoe to the outside (lateral) or inside (medial) of the hoof.
• Effect: Adjusts the way the hoof lands and takes off, altering the stress distribution to support the injured ligament. Distributes weight more evenly across the hoof, reducing localized pressure.

⚠️ LAMINITIS WARNING ⚠️
We are seeing lots of new cases of laminitis. This is only going to get worse now that we are getting a bit of rain and the grass is starting to grow again - take care everyone and remember to watch out for the early signs.

This horse needed that little bit extra today 🐎
This horse suffers with caudal hoof pain, ringbone, side bone
With the guidance of Mathew Cooney Awcf
I created a caudal support bar shoe to provide maximum support to the back half of the foot and some much needed medial width, with added therapeutic impression material to dampen concussive forces throughout the foot and limb.
A rolled toe to make it easier for the horse to break over due to the slight restrictions caused by the ringbone.

Some tired feet in this extreme weather with the ground becoming very hard
But we managed to get there in the end 👍🏻
