Hoof Cinch Eliminates Founder Pain Realigns Hoof LIVESTOCK Horses/Mules Horse owners have an inexpensive option to relieve the pain - and to fix - founder and laminitis Hoof Cinch is a patented metal band that tightens around the front part of the hoof to prevent the hoof from flexing which eliminates the pain “We are bringing the hoof back to normal ” says Chuck Potter a Minnesota farrier who invented the device after a year of research and development with his business partner veterinarian Dr Jan Doelle DVM Instead of expensive traditional treatment involving nerve blocks sedation and shoeing without a real solution for fixing the rotation a $60 Hoof Cinch set can be installed in minutes and provide instant pain relief “Once it’s rotated the coffin bone main foot bone cannot be moved back to its original position ” Potter says “The Hoof Cinch stabilizes the hoof wall and forces the hoof wall growth back toward the coffin bone As the hoof wall grows down along the coffin bone it realigns with the rotated coffin bone Since we cannot move the coffin bone back to the hoof wall we move the hoof wall back to the coffin bone ” After many hoof dissections with Dr Doelle and learning how the hoof flexed Potter experimented with his device and the proper placement The response is usually immediate “The very first was a miniature horse that had foundered and couldn’t use her front feet at all I made up tiny cinches and the next day she was running everywhere ” Potter says Potter emphasizes that the Hoof Cinch doesn’t fix the underlying problem causing laminitis or founder so horse owners must work with a veterinarian to do blood testing to determine the cause and come up with a treatment plan with medicine and/or diet The Hoof Cinch is easy to install and remains on the hoof for at least 12-16 weeks to allow the bone to realign The bands come in three sizes for miniature/pony standard and draft horses The cost is $60 per set plus $5 standard domestic shipping per order International shipping is available at an additional cost Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Chuck and Krista Potter Hoof Cinch LLC 39751 County Road 12 Dakota Minn 55925 ph 507 459-6949 or 855 442-4624; www hoofcinch com; krista@hoofcinch com
