For foals with a maximum foot width of 3 3/4" we offer the CS3 cuff that can be riveted to a predrilled 1/4 " aluminum extension.
Lateral Extensions used for:
- Toe in Ankles (Varus) fetlocks
- Bowed and Offset Knees
- Bowed Hocks Optimal correction requires early application. (Birth to 2 months due to early physis closure.)
Medial Extensions used for:
- Knock Knees (Valgus)
- Valgus Hocks (Early correction offers better response.)
Note: This shoe has little or no effect on toe out rotational deformities. This deformity often appears to be a valgus fetlock which is extremely rare in developing young horses.
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.
Application kit includes: Epoxy glue, tape, cups, stirring sticks, gloves, screws, and detailed instructions.
