The Ultra is a full wrap to ensure coverage even if they have an extra hard way of twisting while pushing off the ground. It can also be used for horses with arthritic hocks to prevent chill. The thin neoprene and double layer of fleece make a very comfortable but tough boot that can be worn full-time for those horses with deep chronic sores.

How to attach Hock Shield Ultra:

VERY IMPORTANT:Make sure the leg is straight under and the hoof is flat on the ground.

  1. Make sure the side with tag is on the outside of leg.
  2. Pull front flap around to outside of leg. Pull it only so it will connect with the Hock Shield. Have it as loose as it can be without creating wrinkles under the strap.
  3. Lay Hock Shield on top of flap attaching inside Velcro pieces.
  4. Bring the elastic strap around the inside of leg to the outside and attach to upperVelcro for a “snug” fit.
  5. Lock top Velcro flap down.

Best fit for Hock Shield Ultra

  • Make sure the leg is straight under and the hoof is flat on the ground.
  • You should be able to put two fingers between the horse’s leg and the band.
  • DO NOT pull the elastic strap too tight so as to restrict circulation or create pressure sores. It is better to go too loose than too tight.
  • With a little experimentation, you will find the perfect fit.

Because some medicines can burn the skin when wrapped, consult veterinarian when using medications under the Hock Shield.

Note: Some horses may grow white hairs where the top fleece band rubs.
