Many years ago, Dr Redden's Dalric Extension concept offered the world a fresh, new look at treating angular deformities in foals. Now he is introducing the Nanric Foal Extension, a second-generation extension made of ABS plastic that is lightweight, easy to use, does not require sedation and is very effective when used on young foals.

Indications:

• Varus Fetlock (toed-in).

   Apply to the lateral side of the hoof. Early detection is the key, as optimum response period is 5-30 days of age.

• Varus Hock (windswept)

• Valgus Knee (knock-kneed, toed out)

   The optimum window of response is 30-60 days.

How To Apply The NANRIC Foal Extension:

• Valgus Hock (windswept)

• Clean the foot with a sanding block

• Fit the cuff to foot using the center toe marker as a guide. Note the cuff length at the coronary band and trim when necessary.

• Apply composite. We recommend Vettec's Super Fast for 1 week old foals and Equilox works well for older foals (though sedation may be required when using Equilox as it takes longer to cure).

• Warm the extension in cold weather to speed set time.
