Foals and yearlings: developmental correction, deformities, support and protection to wound/injury. Extension and graduation, medial lateral anterior posterior, including combinations of:
Foot Preparation - It is important to appreciate the immature nature of the foal’s foot. Dress foot, debride. Using a 2mm straight burr make up to 6 small indentations around each side of the lower margin of the hoof wall, approximately 2mm deep, end on, enlarge diameter of depression by moving in a circular motion. Ensure indentations are no more than half the depth of the wall. The younger the foal the shallower the indentations, the more developed the hoof the indentations can be larger and less in number. Ensure the waxy periople horn is removed from around the heels, where adhesive will be applied.
Clean hoof with surgical spirit, using cleaning brush. The foot will then be ready for reception of the shoe.
To create a mild, medial or lateral extension on a shoe for young foal follow usual fitting instructions up to fitting to the foot, then off set the shoe in the direction required whilst maintaining a good mating contact around the flange model as required. Also refer to the fitting instructions – Imprint Granules for Extensions.
