SoundHorse Foal Heel Extension (single)

The SoundHorse foal heel extension shoe is designed to treat flexor tendon flaccidity. This limb deformity is relatively common in newborn foals with weak flexor tendons and often involves the hind limbs.

The foal heel extension shoe is designed with a rigid urethane sole and progressive rolled toe to encourage a natural stance and growth pattern while muscle and tendon tone improve.

The shoe uses the well-proven Series 1 glue-on cuff system which allows for natural hoof expansion and contraction and easy removal. Acrylic adhesives such as Equacrylic, Hoof Life or Equilox should be used to bond the cuff to the hoof wall.

Designed with a rigid urethane sole and progressive rolled toe to help treat the flexor tendon flaccidity. This limb deformity is relatively common in newborn foals with weak flexor tendons and usually involves the hind limbs, although all four legs can be involved.

The Foal Heel Extension encourages a natural stance and growth pattern while muscle and tendon tone improve.
