OTTB With Severe Distortion

March 4, 2024

OTTB (off-the-track thoroughbred) with some severe distortion. Shod with dental impression material, plastic flat pad, and rolled toe shoe. As the hoof capsule improves over time, we’ll be able to get some higher nail lines as well.


UPDATE 2025: This young OTTB had a fractured coffin bone in the left front, along with severely distorted hoof capsules, paper-thin walls, white line disease, and thin soles.


He's been through a variety of shoeing options — from rim shoes to spider plates with pads, and most recently, glue-on shoes. These glue-ons have truly been lifesaving for him!

This sweet old man was born with very unusual conformation and oddly shaped feet, but is sound and happy in his Easycare shoes. I modify them pretty heavily to suit his needs, even adding some extra color to go with his turquoise-themed wardrobe!
