I recently started using a great local vet named Ben Hufnagel. He has a long back ground in feet (he's better with that last name) and corrective techniques. We originally meet over a heath certificate but we soon started talking about hoof boots and how far they have come in recent years. He's now trialing boots on his Icelandic and has a bunch of stuff to apply to corrective cases. In his words "Hoof boots are on the tipping point"
We did a series of radiographs today with every EasyCare hoof boot. It was a fun procedure and really shows whats going on inside a hoof boot, thicknesses around the walls and break over. It will take me a bit of time to get them all up and adjusted but here is a quick idea of what they look like.

AWESOME ex-rays.... its nice to be able to see the shadow of the frog and the relative distances of the surfaces.
Thank you
