When a horse needs extra support off the inside hoof, to make the horse feel less pressure and be able to stand more comfortable with beniefts of correction to a problem like in the example of my 35 year old young Arab-Saddlebred. This horse suffers from a bad popped knee ,from a previous injury after she was retired. I am not able to trim her feet so i have to place legs on a large block of wood, with this method i have her hoofs hung over the edge and trim the left foot. Since she can not place wieght on her right bad knee this works very well in trimming the hoofs. She has been placed in the Steward nomal clog on the left foot due to wieght bearing caused a bit of dropped soreness sole and right leg swollen a bit. The right foot is placed in a LATERAL Extension wooden Steward Clog basicall the same as the right foot with 30 degree in the rear and 45 degree breakover in the front with radical placement fro breakover and the use of the wooden clog on the p3 capsule boot with 1 1/2 inch extension with total roll.
The results were immediate Shadow Magic is walking all over the farm and is more alert and comfortable as she says on her face and eyes, shes even getting into mischeif like her younger days. This makes me so happy that i took the time to go beyond and there is hope for older horses, besides this horse is my first horse that took me to many Endurance completions and got better with age.
