Flaccidity Shoe on the hoof
DALLMER Flaccidity Shoe
The DALLMER Hoofshoes treat foals with a long pastern, a disorder encountered in newborn foals characterized by hyperextension in the fetlock joint. With the help of the shoes, the fetlock stands erectly, the hyperextended fetlock-joint angle is reduced to a more normal mark.
For the DALLMER Flaccidity Shoes to have the desired effect, the space between the horse’s heels and the shoe’s heels should be filled with a quick-setting wadding and the foal should be lead daily on a leash on a hard, even surface. After 10 to 14 days the hoofshoes are removed for hoof correction. If necessary, a new adhesive shoe is fitted.
Please note: Due to the rapid horn growth on a foal, the adhesive hoofshoes should not remain on the hoof for more than 3 weeks.
