Reasons for Use: Easy to apply (adjustable) Dramatic results when used early Enhances dynamic stability Relieves stress on young bones Minimizes hoof and joint distortion Caution: remove shoes as recommended to avoid unwarranted pinching effect.
We do not recommend reusing the extensions. Inside the cuff there is a felt liner that acts as a release membrane so that when you remove the cuff it does not pull at the hoof wall.
