Laminitis is an inflammation of the corium of the hoof, usually affecting the front hooves. This in itself is very painful for the horse. However, there is also the danger that the coffin bone will sink and, in extreme cases, break. In addition to treatment, special hoof boots can be very useful. Here you have to distinguish between styles for acute laminitis and those for recovery.
In the case of acute laminitis, the horse is stabled. It is then supported by laminitis boots with a screwed-on wedge plate. This plate raises the heels of the hoof by 6 ° or 12 °. When your horse is allowed to move more, it should be given a hoof boot with a T-shaped beam insert. This boot is glued to the hoof. Other models of laminitis hoof boots have a thick rubber sole and a thick felt insert.
