âI gave Hock Shields to my vet and showed them to my farrier,â said Cathleen D., a grateful horse owner, to Hock Shield creator, Shari Click, of Santa Cruz, CA. âThey completely healed the sores on my beloved arthritic horse and she is much more comfortable now. They also stay up really well. Before finding them on the internet, I used baby diapers, which only worked marginally well, as you can imagine...â
Click indeed can imagine. Which is why she created the adjustable and elasticized hock boot for healing hard-to-fit areas. Long-lasting, neoprene-constructed Hock Shields are the go-to choice in healing protection for bed and hock sores by Long Riders Gear, Professional Equine Grooms, and veterinarians like Kacie Wells, DVM, of Edgewater Equine Clinic in Santa Cruz.
"When horse owners complain about non-healing wounds on the point of the hock,â said Dr. Wells. âit refers to common wounds created by repeated trauma when horses stand after laying down. In the past, I have found these wounds very difficult to treat. I tried a variety of medications and bandages with little success.
âI began recommending Hock Shield boots to my clients and was blown away by the results,â Dr. Wells continued. âHorses that had chronic, bleeding sores healed completely within a couple weeks. Owners found them easy to use and durable. I highly recommend Hock Shield for any horse dealing with this issue."
