Cast Rocker

Soft Ride’s Cast Rocker is an innovative podiatric device that—when fitted on the bottom of a leg cast—enables a horse to find a naturally comfortable foot position and protects the bottom of the cast from water, dirt and abrasions. The Cast Rocker greatly reduces the ground contact area for a horse with a leg in a cast. For example, a typical cast bottom has about a 64 square inch footprint. A Cast Rocker can reduce that footprint to about 20 square inches, thus enabling your horse to find a more comfortable foot position when standing. It can be easily installed when a conventional, fiberglass cast is applied. As casting tape is applied to the leg, the stainless straps of the Cast Rocker can be incorporated into the last layer of casting tape, thus ensuring a secure fit.
