EQUINE BONY COLUMN AND TISSUE SUPPORT WITH UNIFORM LOAD DISTRIBUTION TO ALL HOOF STRUCTURES AND A METHOD FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

An equine bony column and tissue support is configured to prevent or treat lameness in a hoof of a horse where the lameness is based on a bony column dysfunction or instability. The equine bony column and tissue support includes a hoof bridge which includes a composition of matter with a hardness between Shore A Durometer of 85 and a Rockwell K of 150 bonded to the hoof. The composition of matter provides central loading support that redistributes weight from a perimeter of an outer hoof horn to the bony column and bony tissue to stabilize and realigns the bony column.
