The Specialty Dual Density Purple and Turquoise Orthotic from Soft Ride is specifically designed for horses experiencing laminitic episodes, offering targeted therapeutic support and enhanced comfort. This unique insert combines a soft purple gel in the front to cushion the toe and support the coffin bone (P-3), with a firmer turquoise gel in the rear to stabilize the heel and bars of the hoof. By allowing the toe to sink deeper into the softer gel at the front of the orthotic, this orthotic insert helps shift the horse’s weight to unload the deep digital flexor tendon and assist in increasing hoof angulation and comfort—a key strategy in laminitis management. The result is improved support, circulation, and relief for horses in acute or chronic laminitic pain.
Appropriate uses for the Specialty Dual Density Purple and Turquoise Orthotic:
- Horses actively experiencing laminitis
- Cases requiring toe-offloading and heel support
- Managing chronic or recurring laminitis
- Horse suffering from ringbone, degenerative joint disease (DJD), osteoarthritis of the pastern or coffin joint
- Providing comfort during stall rest or restricted movemen
- When adjusting hoof angulation is part of the therapeutic plan
- As part of a comprehensive laminitis treatment protocol with veterinary oversight
