brings you HoofRest^©.

2000 lb. Draft horse: Normally very hard to work on because even if they don’t lean on you, their leg still weighs 350 pounds. Try holding that up for 15 minutes or even 1 minute. With HoofRest™ there is no strain on either the holder or the horse. The holder can literally have the hoof in a workable position for hours, because the holder and horse are relaxed.

900 lb. Quarter horse: Usually this is a very difficult conformation type to shoe because neither the horse nor the holder can get comfortable. With HoofRest™ the horses’ leg does not have to be pulled outside of its body plane, so horse is relaxed. Notice holder’s back is in line with his own body plane, so holder is relaxed. Imagine if the holder’s right leg had to be moved over to hold up the horses foot, then how uncomfortable and unhappy the holder would become. Then imagine how uncomfortable and unhappy the horse would become. Then imagine when the fight starts how you would rather be somewhere else. Use HoofRest™. Net result both horse and holder are happy.

This patented device, HoofRest™, is designed primarily for anyone working with horses. The HoofRest™ is the safest and easiest method to help relieve the difficult task of holding the horse's foot in an accessible position. It was designed by farriers to make their job easier. Whether checking for lameness, picking out the hoof, changing screw studs or just a minor trim, the HoofRest^© will make the job easier.

The device is quickly adjusted to conform to the users most comfortable height; usually this is where the device top is just below the person's knee. The cradle can also be adjusted to the most comfortable height for the horse. This means whether it is a draft, miniature, or sore hock or stifle horse, the height of the cradle can accommodate.

The adjustable foot on the device rests on the ground so all vertical force is transmitted downward not on the users leg. The cushioned cradle allows the horse to easily and quickly remove its leg. The leg is not held by the cradle, it is merely supported.
