All SoftRiders feature a patented dual-density design that provides a rigid base for the whole hoof while absorbing shock and delivering better traction than traditional steel shoes.
Enhanced Breakover: The SoftRider is designed to provide enhanced breakover from front to back, thus easing tension on the deep digital flexor tendon.
Neutral Resting Position: The SoftRider's substantial sole provides a comfortable, neutral resting position for the foot.
Eases Medial/Lateral Force: Rockered breakover unloads the distal limb ligaments and tendons more quickly resulting in less loaded force extension.
Nailing/Casting Edge: The elevated edge enables a practitioner to temporarily mount the SoftRider with casting tape. It can be also shaped with a rasp for a custom fit and features nail location guidelines.
Shock Absorbing Base Material: The SoftRider's shock absorbing base helps dampen the impact of each step for performance horses and older or navicular horses alike.
Eases Tenfor Stressors: The SoftRider's design helps ease the strain on tendons and lessens the pull on ligaments.
Protects the Lamina: Reduced forward breakover allows the deep digital flexor tendon to unload more quickly and painlessly, causing less counter pull on the coffin bone.
Performance Athlete Benefit: The SoftRider's patented design benefits performance horses by spreading the load over the entire hoof, not just the perimeter, thus reducing painful leverage on soft tissues.
