From one horse lover to another:

Throughout my many years as a horse owner, I’ve observed an overwhelming number of horses who suffer from a variety of sores on their hocks. Frustrated in their attempts to solve these problems, caring horse owners are continuously in search of a remedy.

Several years of dedicated research and development led to the Hock Shield, a device that accommodates the expansion of the horse’s hock joint. Extremely flexible, the Hock Shield comfortably allows a wide range of motion, including laying down to standing back up and walking around.

I have tested my product in many different situations and am confident you will receive positive results. Thank you for your consideration of the Hock Shield. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.

How the Hock Shield came to be:

A horse at the stable where I board, Taboo, had developed a nasty hock sore. His owner purchased several hock protectors but none of them would stay in place. I decided that this problem is one that has gone on long enough without a satisfying solution and I wanted to take on the challenge.

Many shapes and materials were tested and finally I was getting it to stay on night after night. Taboo was my willing tester and slowly his sore started to heal. His sore was SO deep and he pushed SO hard with his left hock to compensate for his arthritic front knee. Taboo still wears his Hock Shield every day and every night but he has a callous where a deep bloody sore once was.

You can see what his sore looked like a few years ago and how it looks today.
