Equicast provides temporary support to the hoof wall, which promotes proper healing naturally. So many of equine hoof problems either stem from or result in wall failure. Considering that this is, essentially, damage to the horse's very foundation, our revolutionary answer has kept horses in service and even alive. Our temporary support system (ETSS) is simplistic in its approach to treating the breakdown with highly effective and successful outcomes.

Deterioration of the supporting structure commonly results from horse hoof problems like white line disease. In horses where the wall is weak or the capsule is not centered in the bony column, malfunction is inevitable. By applying our specially crafted cast, you give thoroughbreds and hunters alike the time and opportunity to grow stronger, healthier hooves. PlUS, Equicast can be applied by owners, veterinarians, trainers and farriers. You can even fit it under or over a shoe or barefoot. For detailed application information, please read the instruction pages included on this webpage.

Commonly, the walls of hooves become distressed from numeroUS caUSes and can rapidly worsen the overall health of horses.

When diagnosed, however, Equicast gives the support necessary to allow nature to provide the recovery.
