New Design

New Design for Our EVA - EVA/Wood Shoes

We have impoved the design on our 3 lines of shoes. There is now a 1/2" radius cut (chamfer) on the ground surface. This relief cut creates a ledge for casting material to nessel into which helps hold EVA shoes on better. This relief cut continues to aid in proper biomechanics as well as inproved wear resistance. In cases where nails or screws are used this relief cut is easier to predrill holes.

Equicast Casting Tape

Equicast® should be applied by a hoof care professional - is user-friendly and affordable for the treatment of hoof problems (structural wall and sole failure). Equicast® adds temporary wear protection and support to the whole hoof capsule. Whether equine hoof problems are natural or manmade in origin, casting provides the added support to help grow stronger healthier hoof walls and soles. Our products and wrapping methods have been designed to assist nature in effectively restoring healthy hooves and the proper biomechanics necessary for sustainable and healthy growth.

EVA Shoes

EVA shoes  are designed to minimize shock and reduce leveraging (arming effect) at the point of break-over. Our EVA shoes and design are based on Dr. Michael Steward's "Steward Clog" proven principle. The primary use for this shoe was originally laminitis, however over the years we have found that the material and design principles of this shoe works really well on other major hoof problems like long-toe-low heel syndrome, coffin bone fractures, navicular changes and white-line disease, by reducing shock and providing less stress at the point of break over. This combination - ease of break over and shock dampening factors increases the patient's  comfort level which increases movement and circulation.

EVA/Wood Shoes

EVA/Wood Shoes are primarily used for medial/lateral sinkers, radical resections, prolapsed soles, or sheered heels.  an EVA/Wood Shoe style shoe is prrefrable over a plain EVA Shoe because of the added stability that plywood provides. The biggest question in applying this kind of shoe is? What is your comfort zone? An EVA/Wood shoe requires securing the shoe to the hoof with sheet rock screws. This method should only be done by a farrier or vet/farrier! The benefit of this method is once the hoof is positioned on the shoe, a few screws (one or two screws per side) attaches the shoe to the hoof. The patient  can then be walked a bit to check the placement of the shoe and the patient's comfort level, if the patient is comfortable then a cast is  wrapped around the circumference of both the hoof and shoe securing the shoe to the hoof.
