Advances in hoofcare
Imprint Shoes has launched a new polymer shoe said to be ideal for the initial stages of a laminitic episode, as it provides immediate relief and support to unstable hooves. “The key to a successful outcome for a laminitic is to begin treatment fitting the new Imprint First shoe, part of a range of remedial farriery products, as soon as laminitis has been diagnosed” says Andrew Poynton, farrier and owner of Imprint Shoes.

Full Support

The Imprint First is a shoe developed to provide relief and support for laminitic horses and ponies. This mouldable, nail-free shoe is placed in boiling water, then moulded to fit the shape and contours of the horse’s hoof and glued on. Based on a heart-bar shoe design, the Imprint First has to be prescribed by a vet and fitted by a farrier - therefore costs of fitting will vary.
