Price: $36.90
|
The Full Rocker, or “banana shoe,” is available in sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4. The 4’s are unique in that a they are available in a 4CC or 4SC. Most horse have a club foot which is smaller and a "slam dunk" foot that is larger. The CC denotes C for Club and C for the amount of radius/belly the shoe has. The SC denotes S for "slam dunk" and C for the amount of radius/belly the shoe has. The shoe design is the same but the 4SC is just slightly wider and longer.
The Full Rocker shoe is designed to offer high-end mechanical breakover. The breakover, or pivot point, of this shoe is located in the center of the shoe, which allows the horse to self-adjust its palmar angle.
Horses with limited solar perfusion (blood supply) have little to no sole growth because there is a lack of sufficient nutrition to the trim line. By relieving deep digital flexor tension, blood supply to the laminae and sole is increased. This shoe offers continuous self-adjustment that the horse needs, even when standing still.
The Full Rocker shoe is also an aid to enhance rigid sole growth, and it offers farriers and vets a new option for treating a variety of problems that are associated with thin, painful soles. Lateral radiographs are helpful in trim and shoe placement, as well as an aid to evaluate progress.
